Paul at the Amon Festival - I believe that he really enjoyed himself and we'll look forward to meeting him again this year.

Heres a beautiful Terry Marshall photo of both of these legends doing battle, 40 years ago!

As on other thread. Awsome photo.
That is one for the Autograph.
Make a good backdrop for them when they are on board.
Note little love tap on right front guard of Escort, i think Coppins was the reciever.

As per the HMC thread, A3 posters of Fahey and Marwood will be available at the NZFMR at the HMC pit area, where both of these guys will be on hand to sign them.

Fantastic Steve - will you be holding some back for the 2nd weekend?

[kiwi285]

One for the collection and worth framing once signed.

Nigel, you'll need to contact Dale about those. He is organising printing.

As well as the Fahey/Marwood posters, Dennis also has his own poster, featuring his Trans-Am Camaro.

And for those who didn't pick up a Fahey poster last year, I believe some of these are still available?

So he was not selling Fords ? back then

Paul Fahey came into car racing via motor-cycle racing. Unless I'm very much mistaken, he had raced on the Isle of Man (like George Begg) ; he is listed as an entry in one of the Bike races at the 1958 Ardmore GP meeting riding an AJS 7R.

My day just keeps changing, looks like we will now have Jim Richards available for signing and chatting as well, double duty for him as he's racing one of the Beemeers!! SO, not only will have one of the best Muscle Car line ups ever, we'll have Paul, Dennis and Jim, now that's gotta be worth the price of admission doesn't it, infact i might just have too pay twice cause its going to be fantastic.

You got any pictures Steve?
