According to my copy of ''The Twenty Year History of the Levin Motor Racing circuit 1956-1976'', competing at the 22/10/1956 meeting was Syd Jensen in #5, Bruce Webster in #9, Bob Hugill in #3,Arnold Stafford in #14 and Len Gilbert in # 12 (mk7 Cooper).
Great pictures, i'm sure David McKinney will identify the Wellington hill-climb cars, he was probably there on the day.

Yes, but is the same one, as both of the Mark VI/V were around at many of the same meetings!

Oh, all right then

These pics are from NZ library archives. OK to be reproduced here.

First photo is dated 7 Dec 1959 "Wellington Car Club hill climb with two unidentified men working on a racing car engine, location unknown, Wellington Region"

Second one reads "Unidentified driver in racing car, Houghton Bay, Wellington"

Photo 3 is from 7 Dec 1959 reads, "Wellington Car Club hill climb with an unidentified man being push started in his racing car with a crowd looking on, location unknown, Wellington Region

Last photo 21 Sept 1959 "Car Club member, car number 39, racing down Palmer Head, Wellington"

As rf84 says, Bob Gibbons in the MkV Cooper

The other is the Christchurch-built Shadbolt Special, which spent a lot of time around Wellington. Owner/driver at this point was one R K Reardon
