The Roaring Season

[quote="zakspeed65"]Steve,
Great photos. I was lucky enough to be at the event, should be noted that Roger Townsend was running the M3 of Peter Sturgeon in this race and went very well in the company of some very high class cars!
Such a great event all round.[/quote]

Thanks Gary! Yes, there was actually a good Kiwi presence there, and all did exceptionally well. Heres a couple of them,.

No, apparently not. It was built in the UK specifically for Group 2 in the early '70s.

So it wasn't one of the T/A cars from the US ?.

Another period pic of the Javelin, this one snapped by our very own Ray Green.

Thanks guys, glad you're enjoying the pics. The cars are a combination of FIA Group 5, Group 1, Group 2, and Group A.

As for the Javelin, thats the former David Howe 6.4 litre monster that contested the British Saloon Car Championship in around 1972 (period pictured below). It didn't make many appearances in period, and was never fully developed. It was just recently restored.

I just love the Javlin Steve. Do you know its history ?
