Hi there, I'm selling on behalf of an elderly friend his collection of motor racing programmes. I will put a full list of the items below but it includes magazines and posters as well as programmes from racing events. Mostly NZ, but a few British & Australian items too. I would prefer to sell the ...

I'm so pleased you got to visit there. I too have been wanting to visit since I was young. Definitely lives up to expectations from your photos.

I only have a shot of it crashed. (Hopefully this shows up, I need to move all my Photobucket shots to Flickr or Imgur).

Baypark was always special to me, my Aunt and Uncle owned the adjacent campground for a few years.

Thank you for the info.

Unfortunately I only have the top three finishers, not the entry list.

GeeBee, if you look on the Rod Coppins thread, page 4, there is a photo of Rod and John Ward when they won the 1966 Wills race in a Jag. Bruce302 has one of my Shell Yearbooks from that year so he may be able to help you. Does anyone have a photo of that Jag, as well as details of the 2nd and 3rd ...

I would have seen all this stuff, when they used to broadcat it on Sundays (from memory).

Would be interested in Touring Car and Sports Saloon footage.

Thank you for these short films.

This one looks to be a Graham model 97
