A nice photo of Jmaes Clark and Patrick - Ludovic won the Roadmap trophy at Donington in the 70th anniversary race in 2004 driving Bira's R5B "Remus " to victory.

Just for the record Romulus did not come to New Zealand with Bill Morris, it was Hanuman.
Here is a photo of Jim Clark with Remus and Hon. Patrick L.

Ahh... the painted heads make it look like an ohv unit in the first pic...

Interesting that it's set up for a LHD steering connection. And the hydraulic dampers, in what era was it built?

Ray..the # 44 is the Gee Cee Ess built By George Smith .... its powered by side valve and yes it does have hydraulic brakes

Cheers

Gee Cee Ess - huge history with George Smith in NZ over many years.

In post#14 it is directly behind ERA - beside BCM which is beside Sam's replica Dino 246 from Australia.

Good that I could get a mention of ERA in there!

That big ohv V8 Special intrigues me...

No doubt the brakes were converted to hydraulic, what car is it?

The photo from the Otago times . Where was this taken ?

by **Roger Dowding** » Mon Jun 13, 2016 7:00 am

E R A is not in this picture but some of the other pre-war cars.. They must have placed in a different category see pic below

Photo by the Otago Daily Times, which I purchased in January 1984

The front page of the event programme, as posted on my thread " Dunedin Street Races " by Steve Nesbitt ..

This was the single seaters and NZ Specials grid, no sign of the ERA
