Third one should be the late Neville Bridges' CIG Torana.
I think the Torana pulling off to the side at Amaroo is Gary Cooke, but I'm not sure.
I'd plump for the 4-door A9X being Charlie O'Brien

Yes, that's more likely that Gary Cooke...

Not enough time...
Third pic in the first lot is Frank Matich making the F5000 debut (September '69?)
Third in the second lot is Alton Boddenberg in the AP6. Next is Teddy Pilette in the McLaren with (it looks like) Max Stewart on his tail.

Terry S wrote:Yes Dale it did end up with a four valve engine, but first its earlier life.
It was built in 1971 as a normal Twin Cam two valve engine to run in the Improved Production class, the main touring car class in Australia at the time. He then decided for 1972 to run as a Sports Sedan which allowed much more modifications.
He purchased and installed the 1860cc four valve Waggott engine that Max Stewart had run in his Rennmax.
Over Easter 1972 he won the main sedan car support races to both the Singapore and Malaysian Grand Prixes.
It is not clear what happened to the car after that. One story was that it was sold in SE Asia.
Fanning seemed to retire after that.
Garry Rogers purchased the Fanning car with the Waggott engine in bits.
