Bert Jones No.26 in the earlier Cooper-Bristol photo, Ian Young 43 a year later.

It's Rod Coppins in the Tec-Mec at Ohakea 1962, refitted with the single-seater body after damaging the sportscar version at Dunedin

And the lighter colour of the Tojeiro suggests it was when Bill Gardiner was campaigning it

Thanks David, I couldn't remember Rod driving the Tec Mec with the single seater body as it was when Mansel had it.

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

Stuart Donnelly the pharmacist from Foxton?

Also wonder if the A40 Farina in the same group of pics is the Brian Ax, Palmerston North car.

3rd photo in post #3 is the Lawrence family Peugeot 203. I am waiting for confirmation who is driving. Looks a bit tall for Graeme, could be Doug or Tony.

Just at Ohakea and the March Levin that season, in red, but all the next season (ending in the Pukekohe tragedy in March) in grey with black trimmings

David the A40 is Kerry Grant. I got to see the Brian Ax A40 very regularly in my last few years at Palmerston North Boys High, because his son, Clark drove it to school every day once he was able to drive to school.
Just talking to dad he was saying that its Tony in the Peugeot and Doug in the Lola in post #2

Yes Jim, got a list at home some were, includes Bullivant, Baker, Cullinane, Friend, Borrie, and the present guy who has had for maybe the longest of all.(damn name has gone) He has it red and goes real good in it. Think his brother has another one as well.(green think)
