Jim Bennetts..Jim superchargers most things.

Are you able to get a MGC GTS Sebring?

Nice one Bry.

Bry3500, do you know the man named Brett Richardson that posted this these pictures of the Escort on facebook? I have been trying to get hold of him via Facebook messages but no reply? Im keen to get some photos of this car to compare to the ex Harrington/metropolitan car I have with also ran OCSA ...

Dave, any pictures at all would be great if possible. The only Pics we have of the car are the ones on this thread and a couple of others from Roos Cameron. We have a Set of Brabham wheels to put on the car but we are trying to work out what engine to use? Olds v8 or the lotus T/C, We have 75% of ...

Do you have any photos Dave? Specs of the escort when you raced it? Are they brabham wheels on the car in the picture Steve posted?
Regards Andy Giles

Andy, Are you any relation to Ted Giles in Dunedin. Ted had or has a genuine Mk1 Lotus Cortina. yes and yes woody He still has the Lotus it has about 45k miles and totally original. He also still got the Rorstan Sports. Not sure how many years he has had them but Im 33 and Teds had them longer than ...

Jac it was Ross that got it going I believe. I have some photos at home of Ross racing that I will post but I'm working out of town for the week

I presume it is bob Homewood would know he says it was the first Harrington escort and it was blue so I would think so. I only have pictures of it at this point when Ross cameron owned it and Ian Wilkins.

Yes he is my father.

Right we have got to the bottom of the owners of the Mk1 Escort V8 that I found in Lake Hawea after months of phone calls. It turned out to the car I was hoping it was! Owners are, from first to last, Roy Harrington, Don McMillan (metropolitan cranes) with Dave Silcock, Bob Homewood, Grant Aiken ...

It has a Rover v8 in it at the moment. The speedway guy put this in i believe. Im pretty sure it wouldn't be the Fuller/Brader car but shit you never know till you get all the facts. I am giving one of Ian Wikins pit crew a call today as he is looking though his pics etc for me. I emailed Bob a ...

yeah from what I have found is that its been a club, rally, lotus t/c, osca I am getting some pictures from Australia of the car in 1977 when one of the owners Ian Wilkins (Ashburton) picked the car up from Dunedin. Apparently in his gold Capri with the trailer on the back and had to back down a ...

Hey Steve, no I'm not saying that. I have had this car for about 6 monts or more and am finally getting to the early owners. I have got back as far as 1977 but should know more and have photos in the next week or so. I saved it from a guy that had started to build a speedway car out of it!

Here is a photo taken by Terry Marshall at Wigram 1974, showing Brader in the Escort (left of shot) now fitted with the Chevy, and chasing Trevor Crowe (Chevy Corolla), Glenn McIntyre, Fiat, Bruce Jenner (Camaro), and Don Halliday (Escort). [ATTACH=CONFIG]129[/ATTACH] I was just looking for some ...
