Hughes again, chasing, I believe, Jim Murdoch in the Titan. Is this the car David Oxton drove the previous season?

I've been forwarding these all on to Pete - I think it fair to say he is pleasantly surprised...

Steve, #85 is the same livery as Oxo's car but Dave drove an Elfin 600.

Michael would you please pass on my best wishes to Pete. We both worked at Town and Country Cars in Auckland back in the early 70s which explains the large number of photos of him. Also please tell him that I ran into John Weston recently, with whom Pete shared a FIAT 1500 in a Benson and Hedges race.

Thanks Allan, I figured it must have been something like that.

OK, last two pics from this chapter, and its big banger sports car action. The first shot has Grahame Harvey in the Elfin 400, complete with its tall aerofoil, leading Garry Pederson in the Gemco Oldsmobile, and Digby Taylor in the McBegg. The second shot shows the same three cars, in different order.

My thanks to Allan for allowing this wonderful collection to be shared on here. I hope you've all enjoyed this first chapter. I'll be beginning Part 2 in the next couple of weeks.
