Thanks David, am I correct in thinking this was around 1961-2? If so it obviously pre dates Ivan Segedin's Mustang and Howden, Ross Greenville and Ivan must have been quite young.

Does anyone have any pics of the Cambridge-liveried 4WD go-kart ? About the size of a shifter kart, but had a Mac 91 driving each corner. Saw it at a pre-Xmas Bay Park tuning day, good straightline speed but eye-popping corner speed ! Had a rudimentary wing too, if I recall. Anyone ?

Bruce.
As you say Bruce, an impressive set-up.
With Coppins are Barry Phillips (Mini) and David Oxton (Begg FM4 and Elfin Formula Ford)
Yes and yes. 1961/62 season. Segedin took a year off from racing, which is where Innes's team mount came from. Ganley would have been 18 or 19, Greenville 22 or 23 and Segedin I think 24

But to back up the bus as to who drove under the Lexington colours, it has been suggested (with some photos) * Spinner Black (Camaro) * Roly Levis * Bert Hawthorne * David Oxton - is that correct? I know he was in the Winfield team, both FF and F5000 * Jim Boyd (Stanton) * Dave Simpson (Escort T/c) * Barry Phillips (Mini)
Any more?
Didn't Graham McRae have his Brabham in Lexington colours in its last race at Levin prior to departing ob Driver to Europe?
