The Roaring Season

Barry Robinson was my hero, he really got that chevette going, nice to see something different from the usual heap of escorts.

Great picture thanks Bob and Steve, the colour is way out though as it was the blue of the previous pictures. The body is as we picked up from Governors Bay but it was in a much more deteriorated state of course, I have all the scoops on the front. It's interesting to see the strut brace that has ...

I did it last night as per bry3500's instructions thanks. I'm learning new skills computer wise all the time on this site. I've got quite a few slides I'm cleaning and scanning that may be helpful to some people, I struggle to get them down to the size to fit here, but more practise and I'll get ...

Thanks for that, I'll give it a go.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]5507[/ATTACH] This car started its competition life in NZ national Group 5, but spent most of its career racing in OSCA, hence I'm putting it in here. This '67 Camaro was imported into NZ by Spencer Black in 1968 as a road car, and converted for racing duties. Black finished the 1968 ...

Hey 105 anglia, you're a guy with considerable roaring season skills, how do I copy a photo from one thread to another, there's a picture of Neil Doyle in the breadvan thread that I'd like to put on my thread. Thanks a lot.

Good shot, thanks.

Good shots.

You've done a nice job with it. I find Tinypic is a good website for resizing and uploading images to forums: http://tinypic.com/ I'll try and find out more info on that photo and what race the car was in. Thanks Steve, I'll try that site, I'm lacking skills when it comes to playing with pictures ...

Great photo,this will have the memory banks ticking over, are we sure it is Bay Park as can not remember a house in the back ground at Bay Park, tends to lead to Levin. There were no house's at Bay Park and actually it was the eventual underhand council houseing in later years that saw the demise ...

This is a great collection of first class photo's thanks for sharing.

This was the same meeting as #77 on this thread which was taken from a Shell Motor Racing Yearbook that they produced. It was either '67 or '68 when Brian Foley came to Bay Park, I've searched google and can't find any details. Neil Doyle is driving at this time so it's several years before OSCA. I ...

Bay Park

Is this the photo you were talking about fastback? Is that Ian Donald in overalls?

Yeah I have that photo, got it from the "Old Race Car" site, it certainly looked rough in those days. I'll have another look as I knew Neil but didn't know who the others were. Thanks.

Car on the headstone is much as #64 on the Anglia thread when it had the fastback but no roof chop, also much the same as the roll over picture on this thread. I have a feeling that Murray might have raced the car a couple of times.

# 65 in the Anglia Thread from fastback mentions Tinwald Service Station and Murray Elwood and Ian Donald as builders of the car

Yes they are aluminium, they are riveted in places as you can see in the attached photo. I know Murray Elwood worked on the car, I don't know if he did the body work. The body work is well done. Murray Elwood's headstone at Barrytown on the west coast has the Anglia cast into it. Classic Driver ...

I have watched with interest the debate regarding replica's and restorations and I can see merits from both sides of the fence. I particularly like the comment by one contributor who said of the 2thousand odd Mk1 Lotus cortina's made, 5thousand odd still exist (figures wrong I know but once in the ...
