Wow, Bry, these are staggering! The quality is amazing. Super sharp. Hard to believe many of these were taken 60 years ago. Got more?

The quality is great Steve ...and the prints from Barry Cash even better. I contacted Barry and he sent all of Douglas Walkers photo's, even the ones that were out of focus or not good enough for his web site..

Two and a half...
The first one was little more than a rebodied saloon, the second was the one in the picture, which was rebuilt with a new chassis and other mods after Don's Dunedin crash
