Was entered in other events - this photo from Ross Cammick { BMC BOY } was posted on the Hillclimbs thread some time ago.
This was an event at Ridge Road in 1974. Judy Hanbury driving
One of the two Marina's had a V8 fitted at some time and was badly crashed. Unsure if it was GC1 or GC2 ..

Vaguely remember one of them at Bright Road, the Pukekohe Car Club's Bardahl series Hill Climb in late 1979, think it fell over on the top corner.

That is brilliant, I have often wondered about this car, I had only ever seen this view

But then stumbled across that 3/4 front view in a file I did not know I had so its now good to know a bit more about it.

Did Mary Carney drive this car or another woman competitor.

Red Cooper 500 at Levin is Graham ("Gray") Richards. Graham is still competing regularly but now in a Terrapin. In the 70's the 500cc cars (which by that time had no class to race in) raced with the early Formula Vees.
