Second photo - I was standing alongside after this race when the Clerk of Course gave Cobber Hurley (the Healey driver) a dressing down for not rejoining the circuit at the point he'd spun off it

I'm sure everyone will recognise the other car in that pic as Stuart Donnelly's Zephyr Special...

Incident at the hairpin 70 f5000 Levin

[pallmall]

The elusive Mr Griffiths in the BRP, actually under its own power, a rare occasion!
I can remember Rob Campbell of Hot Rod Magazine showing me a sponsorship proposal from Kaye Griffiths for the BRP Tasman trip, as I recall the intention was to win all the races and the series and for a huge amount of dollars Hot Rod Magazine could have some signage on the car. I guess a large number of proposal letters were sent to prospective Kiwi concerns, none appear to have taken up the offer, but I do understand Mr Griffiths departed NZ very quietly and quickly owing large sums of money around the country.

The incident at the Levin hairpin was in the Gold Star race at the International meeting after Bryan Faloon disintergrated the Climax engine leaving a large trail of oil and engine parts in the braking area. Spinners included Graeme Lawrence and Dennis Marwood fortunately without hitting anything.

Ferris rebuilt the BRP and sent it back to UK ,

Yes the Lenny Gilbert Coper Bristol sports, I think Bert Jones drove it a few times, maybe prior to these photos. The Maserati 250F is the Brian Prescott car with a young Richard Sisler assisting in the foreground left. Tec Mec at Ohakea is Johnny Mansel.
