Graham, these old programmes are amazing! We had a dedicated thread somewhere on here for this stuff, I should try and find it so these can be included. They make great reading!

Woody-these programs are absolutely fantastic, Aussies here-Jane and Geoghegan. Colin Lumsden, George Bunce again, Pointon, Who was nominated for 129 Mini Ford-was this Ted Thompsons Mini twincam? Morarri. What a sight these races must have been. Lots of Minis in 66, fields getting civilizes.

The Ted Thompson Mini twin cam was an amazing piece of work - grafting the Ford block onto the Mini bottom end. Ted was totally deaf, wasn't he?
The Mullins' Cortina with the 2 litre Coventry Climax engine seemed like a good idea, but never seemed to perform as well as the 1600 Fords. Those programs bring back memories...I had a lot of them from Puke, 63-66, but an evil little nephew burned the contents of the boxes they were stored in, complete with all my Motormans, Road and Tracks, sound recordings, a lot of pictures, etc, when he wanted the tea chests to grow dope plants in in his bedroom! And he did this 3 weeks before I turned up at my sister's place to pick them all up!! Bastard!

[color="#0000FF"]I have a photo somewhere with hood removed I think , but thats about all I know for now. Maybe someone has more pics taken in pits during meeting, I was not there, got busy checking out a proper mustang that weekend.[ Better than all those HMC clones ][/color]

[Steve Holmes]

Thanks for the info on the Daimler Special Jac. Is it a newly built car for VCC? Or does it have history?

Wow, thats really cool! Who built it Jac?

Also, what was the Mustang you were playing with? Did Steve Ross bring out the PDL I?
