Didn't Bob run that Capri with an automatic at some stage?

This looks like Bay Park- and that looks like Amber Electrical on the side of the black car.
Is this you George, can you tell us about this race?

If this is on the grid at Baypark; shouldn't the embankment in the background be higher?

it is the 'Siddy' John, then Capri Friend and outside is Mazda rx2 of Rutherford

4 wide would be fenuwapie

At this meeting we crossed the runways and as you entered the crossing you got air, and I watched Algie and Rutherford 'fly' past me one time.

My understanding is that there will be as little panel and paint as needs to be done to make it look reasonably presentable.

Mike- just realized that in #330, with the list of drivers on the door we are missing-

Terry Scott.
Jim Palmer.

Both drove it twice during 1969.
Door should be deep enough to get these names there.
