I've had a request for some pics of John McMillan...

The request is from Peter Molloy, who worked with him at Capitol Motors at Artarmon apparently.

Any kind of photos would be welcome.

There is at least one good head and shoulder photo of John McMillan on this forum - maybe try search Ray - but to be fair I do not think his photo had a title.
There has been some traffic on facebook recently about Mrs McMillan and her crash in Wellington [ Talbot Lago??? & truck ]

Here are two I found with a quick search - John in the Jackson Special.

This is most likely his next car. P3 5006 imported around 1953 ex Chiron ?

Well, that's great, I don't know exactly what Peter wants but those are good shots...

Thanks for your efforts. What was behind the Jackson Special?



PS. I tried to post a response hours ago but this crazy software that requires you go out of the thread and come back in drives me to distraction!

The Jackson Special was designed to be the prototype for a run of chassis which a buyer could turn into a race car. Sponsored by Jackson Engineering, designed (and built?) by John. Tube chassis with an almost identical set of tubes a few inches above the base chassis, I could measure but not more than 4" separation. What more do you want to know Ray?
