[bob homewood]

Rhubarb 2 and 3 Bay Park
This from my third Season with Rhubarb 3 when I raced it with the 416b Hart based engine ,Tino had a Mazda rotary engine in Rhubarb 2

[bob homewood]

[bob homewood]

Lastly

[David McKinney]

These all appear to be from the pre-SCANZ era, and most aren't 2-litre cars. Perhaps Steve would like to peel them off into another thread, and leave this one "pure"...

Either way -
Post 5: Lycoming Special No.1 (twice), an MGB GT, Rhubarb III? (Bob?), Ferrari 250LM, Scott Wiseman's E-type

Post 6: PMS-Climax?, JRM?, Lotus Seven 100 (Ross West?), Lancer 71, Wiseman again, JRM?

Post 7: first pic looks like a single-seater (which I can't identify), then Elfin or Gemco (they both at Gemco bodies at one stage, and I can't remember OTTOMH who ran 59)

David yes most of those photos are from a earlier time ,The Rhubarb 3 photo is possibly of Colin Smith

[bob homewood]

This is the Colour Scheme of Rhubarb 3 in the first season of my ownership
That photo is from Timaru from the meeting which the Australian cars came across to
contest ,the car behind is Jamie Aislabie in Sid 2

[seaqnmac27]

Sorry first post of #7 is listed being the Terrapin engine bay

[Carlo]

Would the Terrapin be the car of Kevin Ingram ?

Does the Sid 2 that Jamie Aislabie raced in this photo still exist in NZ ?

Yes, I think the JRM is piloted by Bob Hyslop, he used to wear a half-bubble visor. Pedersen ran 59 in the Gemco I think.
Good crowd in at Pukekohe !

From what I understand the true SCANZ series in the 2 litre format didint start untill 1972 although there was some form of a sportscar series running prior to its inception.

[bob homewood]

This was Rhubarb 3 in its final evolution in my ownership with 1860 cc 416b Hart based Twin Cam Engine,it was very much modified by that time
