The Roaring Season

I would love to know more about this car. Was there more than one car?. Did he make his own wheels as they looked beautiful at the time. Why is the front coil overs at a different angle in the second photo and the roll over hoops is also different. When Dunlop drove the car at one stage it was red ...

[quote="Michael Clark"]Great photo Milan. That is the car that GM raced in the 69/70 National Formula. Dexter Dunlop replaced the Twin-Cam with an FVA. The story went that the FVA came from Paul Faheys Escort. The car was traded on the Mustang and went to Bob Kennett, who took it to Seattle ...

That's correct, SB Chevy powered. Owned and driven by Tony Roberts

[quote="khyndart in CA"]Just one p.s. I noted that the Lola T332 that Brian Redman was driving at Mosport in June 1975 was chassis HU 45 and owned by Carl Haas. In September 1975 at Long Beach, Brian Redman was still in the same car but it was now run by Jim Hall and was painted in "Boraxo" (hand ...

This blue Marina was the Barry and Neville Algie driven car This picture is from the 1981 B&H event

As I understand it, the F1 cars that are coming from England are a Taupo promotion It is probably a David Abbott idea, that without the help and enthusiasm of Frank Lyons, most likely wouldn't have got off the ground I'm told that there will be 7 F1 cars running They are running at Hampton because ...

The Frist Escort in behind the AWA Escort in the bottom picture, had the best sounding 4 cyl
engine I ever heard, probably until the M3 BMW group A cars in the 1980's It was driven
pretty hard too, from what I remember FVC powered ? Where is it now ?

If that is Andrew Kluvers car, then it was originally new to Horst Kroll, was converted to a cs canam by
Horst, then restored back to a T300 by Andrew about 5 years ago

You can only work with what you have when restoring an old race car Bailey. I'm told there is still a relatively good amount of the original car remaining, including the complete roof, which still bares the repairs from when Dawson had his Manfield shunt in 1976, plus sections of the chassis. I ...

The new owner plans to restore this very important Monza back to its early guise, when it was raced by Carter and Dawson, and is appealing for help both in regards to period photos from when Dawson (or Carter) owned it, and he is also wanting to make contact with any of the crew members who worked ...

181 would be Bruce Manon.

Barry Algies HK 327 Monaro, original and unrestored , which he owned since 1974 just sold on Trade Me for $107,200 after a long brisk last minute bidding. The reserve was $95K and the buy now was $100,000. Car came with new panels- came from Schofields- had a new rear right guard which in itself ...

Geez, I should stick to the past and not the present ! Not only did I get the owner wrong I also described the wrong car ! Sorry folks. Perhaps I got confused when I saw this !

This is what makes it so hard to write about Lola (HU 61). So who is correct ? http://www.f5000registry.com/lola.html has this comment.

David Oxton drove this car at the Wigram round of the ' 75 Tasman, could be him pictured here ?

The Lola T332C # HU61 has been beautifully restored and is owned at present by the Davison family in Australia.

This is Barry and there is a story to this which I reported on another thread, it involved a traffic officer myself and Ian in a classic conversation while Barry made himself look busy. It absolutely is Neville, but don't worry Drifty, plenty of people have been confused over exactly which Algie is ...

That is Nevil, the youngest brother.

Wouldn't the Graeme Addis charger be the first space frame sports sedan built ?
That was around 1977 or '78 from memory
