Nice find, Bry
(Though as the title says, this is the Melbourne GP at Albert Park, not the Australian GP, which had taken place at Bathurst the previous month)

Bry, as David has said, nice find! I'm enjoying your threads, and its good to see more Australian stuff coming through. I worry sometimes people look on this as being a New Zealand forum, but I always intended that it be international. Its just a lot of members at this early stage are Kiwi's, so there is a strong NZ flavour. Keep the threads coming. This is really good stuff.

thanks Steve..I was born and raised in Christchurch, now living in Melbourne. The Historic scene here is very strong with a lot of great cars and ingenuity. It was the Allcomer saloons at Wigram that really caught my imagination as a kid , the Miller Dauphine Chev, Doyles Breadvan Corvette Anglia etc, and the one off Specials such as the Lycoming, Stanton Bros Cropduster and Tyrell Turtles Continental Special.. Great Website you have started , it has become a daily ritual to check the posts here..

Hi Bry - I am Tom Clark's daughter, and I was wondering if you could email me to tell me if there's any way of getting a reproduction of this footage? I know the family would appreciate it. Thankyou.
