Graham, these old programmes are amazing! We had a dedicated thread somewhere on here for this stuff, I should try and find it so these can be included. They make great reading!

I think Lin had trouble with the blocks on the pedals. Went a lot better in the Mini.

The Ted Thompson Mini twin cam was an amazing piece of work - grafting the Ford block onto the Mini bottom end. Ted was totally deaf, wasn't he?John McKechnie wrote:Woody-these programs are absolutely fantastic, Aussies here-Jane and Geoghegan. Colin Lumsden, George Bunce again, Pointon, Who was nominated for 129 Mini Ford-was this Ted Thompsons Mini twincam? Morarri. What a sight these races must have been. Lots of Minis in 66, fields getting civilizes.
The Mullins' Cortina with the 2 litre Coventry Climax engine seemed like a good idea, but never seemed to perform as well as the 1600 Fords. Those programs bring back memories...I had a lot of them from Puke, 63-66, but an evil little nephew burned the contents of the boxes they were stored in, complete with all my Motormans, Road and Tracks, sound recordings, a lot of pictures, etc, when he wanted the tea chests to grow dope plants in in his bedroom! And he did this 3 weeks before I turned up at my sister's place to pick them all up!! Bastard!

Thanks for the info on the Daimler Special Jac. Is it a newly built car for VCC? Or does it have history?
