Tjebbe Bruin, Peter Bruin's son - Peter of Lotus XI and others cars fame.
He was involved in Trialling Hill Climbs and other Motorsport, largely with Auckland Car Club in the 1960's -70's.
He also took or collected a lot of photographs, many from ACC events but some from NSCC, TVCC and other Clubs, and put them in Albums.
Here a set of 4 by John Larry Lawton - the page was 6 photos - 2 from another venue, a TVCC Hill Climb at Maramarua.

The photos - from a Peter Bruin Album. Tjebbe Bruin has been posting many images on Old New Zealand Motor Racing with details where known of people and the photographer - if not him.

Quote Jamie Aislabie Cooper - Jaguar [ Bobtail ],

The Cooper Jaguar is not a Bobtail, it's a front-engined sports car and it was driven by Jamie's brother Brian.

Thanks Milan - yes, my oops - the " Bobtail " note is on the Album Page - and here is the JLL photo. described as " Cooper Holden ".
seems like I mixed up the cars. - the " Cooper - Jaguar " name is on the results from NSCC Club Torque - confusing

FTD to " Sager " in the Cooper, was it Jim or Ken, ?.
See Morrie and Ken[ny] Smith both in the Cooper Holden, I think that car went later to the Aislabie brothers with mainly Jamie racing.

Met Jim Sager, Kens Dad, at the first NSCC Club night I attended in February 1967 with my father, the night I joined the Car Club having just purchased my first car a few days / couple of weeks before.
NSCC used to have meetings at the Edendale School Hall in Mt Eden / Sandringham, before the the Club Rooms were built in 1972.
