Thanks David, am I correct in thinking this was around 1961-2? If so it obviously pre dates Ivan Segedin's Mustang and Howden, Ross Greenville and Ivan must have been quite young.

I deferred to DMcK's version! As I was aged 12 at the time my memory is unreliable.

-Rod Coppins ( Camaro)
- Roger? Anderson (BMW)[/QUOTE]
Does anyone have any pics of the Cambridge-liveried 4WD go-kart ? About the size of a shifter kart, but had a Mac 91 driving each corner. Saw it at a pre-Xmas Bay Park tuning day, good straightline speed but eye-popping corner speed ! Had a rudimentary wing too, if I recall. Anyone ?

Bruce.
As you say Bruce, an impressive set-up.
With Coppins are Barry Phillips (Mini) and David Oxton (Begg FM4 and Elfin Formula Ford)

Yes and yes. 1961/62 season. Segedin took a year off from racing, which is where Innes's team mount came from. Ganley would have been 18 or 19, Greenville 22 or 23 and Segedin I think 24

But to back up the bus as to who drove under the Lexington colours, it has been suggested (with some photos)
* Spinner Black (Camaro)
* Roly Levis
* Bert Hawthorne
* David Oxton - is that correct? I know he was in the Winfield team, both FF and F5000
* Jim Boyd (Stanton)
* Dave Simpson (Escort T/c)
* Barry Phillips (Mini)
Any more?
Didn't Graham McRae have his Brabham in Lexington colours in its last race at Levin prior to departing ob Driver to Europe?

Don't think he repainted it after taking it over from Laurence Brownlie and racing it at Pukekohe and Levin
