The Roaring Season

pallmall wrote:Yes the Lenny Gilbert Coper Bristol sports, I think Bert Jones drove it a few times, maybe prior to these photos. The Maserati 250F is the Brian Prescott car with a young Richard Sisler assisting in the foreground left. Tec Mec at Ohakea is Johnny Mansel.

Bert Jones No.26 in the earlier Cooper-Bristol photo, Ian Young 43 a year later.

It's Rod Coppins in the Tec-Mec at Ohakea 1962, refitted with the single-seater body after damaging the sportscar version at Dunedin

And the lighter colour of the Tojeiro suggests it was when Bill Gardiner was campaigning it

Thanks David, I couldn't remember Rod driving the Tec Mec with the single seater body as it was when Mansel had it.

Was Brents car the Brian Friends at a later date???

I'm sure everyone will recognise the other car in that pic as Stuart Donnelly's Zephyr Special...

Stuart Donnelly the pharmacist from Foxton?

Also wonder if the A40 Farina in the same group of pics is the Brian Ax, Palmerston North car.

3rd photo in post #3 is the Lawrence family Peugeot 203. I am waiting for confirmation who is driving. Looks a bit tall for Graeme, could be Doug or Tony.

Just at Ohakea and the March Levin that season, in red, but all the next season (ending in the Pukekohe tragedy in March) in grey with black trimmings

David the A40 is Kerry Grant. I got to see the Brian Ax A40 very regularly in my last few years at Palmerston North Boys High, because his son, Clark drove it to school every day once he was able to drive to school.
Just talking to dad he was saying that its Tony in the Peugeot and Doug in the Lola in post #2

It's possible the unknown #24 in post 37 may be Richard McNair in the Gemini.

No, I think it's one of the Begg FM2s

Pretty sure last shot in post 38 is Peter Slocombe's PMS-Climax
