This is John Surtees in the Lola Climax at Lakeside Qld for the International race in 1963.

Practice day...

And who's in the Cooper in the background? I don't think it's Amon but it looks like Scuderia Veloce colours. That is, the car previously run by David McKay.

And his team mate, Tony Maggs...

Ray,
That would indeed be a very young Chris Amon driving David McKay's Cooper T 53.

Ken Miles at Lakeside in his 427 Cobra.

I would think this is the car that Ken drove at Lakeside but that visit is not mentioned in this detailed history of the “The Ken Miles Car”

Ken Miles at Riverside, California.

Looking at some photos I have from Lakeside, the car he drove there had much wider rear guards (fenders).

Dale,
I also don't see the BRDC logos on the doors when Ken drove at Lakeside. Perhaps this was a loaner just for the one occasion because the one he drove at Riverside was a rocket in the day and seemed to handle better than the # 4 Cobra.

This is a 289 small block Cobra. But the side pipes do give it the look of the big block racing Cobras. The car Miles drove at Lakeside was a 427 big block CSX3002. I believe its the only 427 that was raced by the Shelby team?

Is this the same Bob Holden who raced touring cars for many years?

Yes Steve, particularly Ford Escorts and Toyota Corollas.

Won Bathurst 500 in 1966 in Cooper S

Still racing, probably Australia’s longest going racer
