Who What and Where?

[Oldfart]

Rod, check out the post I put in on the Northland special, it also appeared in Historic racing mag. It may give you a starting point!

[Rod Grimwood]

Stu, apparently it was a hillclimb at PuhiPuhi north of Whangarei in Northland, John lived in Maungatoroto and it was around north of there.

Looks like Bandini Jim.. but was he at Teretonga 1958? Don't think so. This pic is posted around the net as Bruce McLaren, but it sure isn't him.

Johnny Buza could be a good call Jim

Can anyone confirm Johnny Buza?

[David McKinney]

I'm in the Bandini camp, especially as I don't recall many sets of 'Dunlop blue' overalls as far back as 1958. It was still usually t-shirts then

Johnny Buza was more round-faced, and probably a bit older

Thanks David...The guy who owns these pics found the slides in a rubbish dump. They are listed as from Teretonga 1958 . Was Bandini there? I can't find any reference to him being there. I will post the other slides..

[bry3500]

Looks a lot like the guy with his foot on the Cooper - I have done some digging. Maybe these shots were from different years. The Archie Scott Brown pic from 58, The other pics from 61 - 62 when Bandini was in NZ

[jim short]

Yes my money is on Bandini

[jim short]

Just love the shot of Archie and Lister all dusty makes me feel at home

Hmmm. Have to agree with the Teretonga 1962 theory. I mean, where would you find a 1961 Cooper back in 1958? Not Teretonga for sure. Men's fashion seems to have changed quite a bit in 4 years, too. No more business shirts and panama hats.
