I suspect that the Lotus 7 might be Ray Kaleda...

It's very hard to pick these without programmes etc, but I can see possibilities that the open-wheeler could be the Lynx Peugeot.

The Elfin 600ff might be Richard Knight.

The yellow Charger next to Leo's would be Jim McKeown, I'd think.

My ideas on these:

Denis O'Brien Falcon(This Gary Clarke must be an O'Brien fan as every set of photos seems to have him

Frank Gardner Camaro

Bill Fanning Lotus Cortina

Nick Petrilli in Falcon #42. Torana #62 may be Ray Kaleda

Ray as you have said several times you need a programme to identify cars like that.

But doesn't that take the fun out of it?

Surely the enjoyment for posters is seeing how many you can identify from memory.

Yep, I agree! This is a hugely enjoyable thread, and what makes it so much fun are the number of grass-roots race cars included.

The car you suggest is Super Seven looks like a Nota to me and the openwheeler is definitely not the Lynx Peugeot. Looks like a Brabham.

The single seater is John Valentin in a Renmax Ford 1.6

If the clubman car is a Nota, as Dale suggests, then it could be Ray Hanger

By the way Ray I cheated and looked up the programme. I hate to do it but it was so you would not have to go to sleep wondering.

Not Ray Hanger, his car had a distinctive nose different to that...

And as far as I know it was always dark-ish blue.

Then there's the FF, any takers on that?

If not Pat Crea, it could be Darrylyn Huitt...and couldn't she drive that VW.

The Vee, #33, is Godfrey Handschuh in the Bardahl Vee.

The two blue Falcons are Johnson and Goss.

The blue #34, could that be London to Sydney winning Hillman Hunter?

Would love to know driver of BL Works Mini. Could it be Don Holland?


And I believe it is highly likely that the red Falcon with the light blue stripe between Goss and Johnson is Gary Wilmington (post #8).

This is Gary Campbell's Provincial Motors Elfin 600B, looks like Gary's helmet but if it the photo date is later than 1972 it may be Barry Johnson in the driver's seat when the car was owned by Peter Clarke.
