Abenethy (spl?) in the yellow Cooper?

[Grant Ellwood]

Bruce Abernathy? The guy who rolled out to the grid at a Levin race in a Cooper with "wobbly" wheels and Bruce wearing a Noddy hat.
Also a very brave speedway motorbike racer.

Gidday Shag,

Imagine turning up on the grid wearing a Noddy hat today? No one would know what you were smoking.

I remember that meeting, even though I'm much younger than your good self.

More saloon car action. The A40 looks like that which Kerry Grant raced in 1963. But I believe this might be from 1964, so can anyone ID the driver? And those of the chasing cars?

Well done David, many thanks. That explains why Allan has them listed as being 1963 photos, but I thought they were from the 1964 season.

More battling Mini's.

Here is the Zephyr again, being hounded by what is probably Paul Fahey's Lotus Cortina, as he chases after Ernie Sprague.

Could the black MkI Zephyr be Ivan Segedin?

[Steve Holmes]

^ ^ Actually, to answer my own question, Segedin was racing an Anglia that season.

Yeah, the grey #60 mini with a bonnet strap and headlights out is Tim Parker.
