The Roaring Season

Help required as always guys, but possibly Tony Shelly in the Lotus?

I think you are right

Yes Tony Shelley it would possibly be from the same March 1964 Levin meeting,a lot of people have forgotten or don't realize in 1962 he competed in three F1 World Championship events and a handful of non Championship ones

Yes Bob he is one of 8 kiwis to start a F1 GP

Thanks guys.

Any help with this one? I've zoomed in on the car. Could it be Rex Flowers in the Gemini?

I have the tail section of that Gemini stored somewhere.

Thanks Grant. So it IS Rex Flowers in the Gemini? Is this the car Jim Barclay now owns?

That is the Gemini ,but I believe that is in the time when Mr Thomas owned it from Fielding .it would have been in 1340 cc engine size at that time

So would that be Brian Thomas, the engineering wizard and motorcycle racer from Feilding?

Didn't Roy Lyme win a NZ hill climb championship in the Gemini?

Jim Barclay today confirmed that that is Bryan Thomas in the Gemini

No, he bought the Gemini after twice winning he Hillclimb Championship in a Cooper-Porsche

Thanks for the info guys.

The last of the photos from Levin. This looks to be Kerry Grant taking a victory lap in the back of the Alpine. Has he just won an open wheeler or saloon car race?

If it's 1964 it will be a saloon race

In any case, he tended to wear overalls when racing single-seaters

If its the March meeting he won four races in the Lotus Cortina that day

Thanks for this you guys.

They must have used that Sunbeam Alpine far taking winners around Levin for at least a couple of years after that. its the same car I bet that there is a couple of shots of with Jim Clark on the back in earlier thread of my photos.Followed by some EH Winfield s/wagons.

Yeah thats a good point Steve!
