Where are the photos of the green '74 RS3100 from Mike?

[kiwi285]

I am pretty sure that the car is a Broadspeed vehicle so they were probably taken at one of the English circuits

Whats the story on the Rennsport car Bruce? Looks mean.

It was a "Random Pic" on another site, I liked to look of it so I backed up a copy, Just in case that site got bombed by terrorists.

now - who is that photographer? The photo is about 1975 ish and its at Manfeild

[Steve Holmes]

That would be one of the last races Fahey had in the car. Possibly the last.

Last year I was kindly loaded all of Waynes archival photos and videos and copied the lot for him
Heres a few of the Capri... (the SAME Capri!!!) I believe he's working on it again now and might run it again soon.

[Steve Holmes]

A great car for sure. Mike has posted a shot of it in a very early guise above. Note the lack of large rear wing. When it first debuted at Bay Park in early 1979 it was still in primer black before the white paint appeared.

It was bought from a guy in Nelson about four years ago by Allan Pulley from Winton ( About the same time as I was building Pierre Neames Capri ), It had obviosly been lightened & modified considerably from how I remembered it from Frank Ryans & later Paul Kirks ownerships, dont know if Alan still has the car, he had a fairly serious off at Teretonga's hairpin in it at one of the SFOS meetings..

They made a great looking race car, the Capri.

Whoever that photographer is, he needs shooting for those trousers. Oh, wait, we all wore stuff like that (I, ahem, had a replica Starsky and Hutch knitted jacket/jumper).

[timbo61]

Perhaps he could take up golf. That way he could still be wearing those trousers today.

The last time I saw it wwas several years ago when John Heslin still owned it. Still had the original 'works' style flares, but had the big wing on back. But I understand the flares have since been changed? The poor old nail deserves a good home.

What is the Pierre Neames Capri?

Do you have more info on these cars timbo? The Laurie Attard Capri dates back to the 70s doesn't it?
