BUILD THREAD For 1964 Falcon Sprint to Monte Carlo Rallye FIA spec'

[ERC]

Presumably that is the Ian Walker who was the well known team owner/entrant at the time, usually Lotuses as I recall?

Ray,
You are correct.
Was he related to Rob Walker ?

Was that the same Ian Walker who was involved with Private Entrant Austin Healey cars in Rallying in the early mid 1950's ?
Maybe the question is for Ken H - seeing his answer in post #258

I have this photo of Ian Walker's AH 100 - NWD 394 - event not known;

and this one of Ian Walker in the 1955 RAC Rally in an AH 100 again - looks like NWD 394 too !!

Sorry to hijack the thread Paul B..

Great to see the photos of your car at Taupo.

Thanks Ray, Yes that was the plan to build G Hills #201, and yes Ian Walker was a notable competitor in the 60s.

Roger, your post #560 first photo I think that is Ian Walker on the left with the cap on. Love the Healeys!

Milan, Great photos, Thank you for posting them.

Ken, very happy with the build, but the engine performance let me down and trouble with 2nd syncro, but the car just kept on going (albeit slow), Plenty to do now including a new engine build.
Cheers to all
