Help Needed To ID Photos

[Steve Holmes]

Folks, I have a few old racing pics I need help identifying for my Ford and Holden books.

First up is this neat Ross Cammick shot of MkI Cortina. Vincent Panelbeaters appear to be from Feilding. Picture was taken at Manfeild. Any help?

[Steve Holmes]

[Milan Fistonic]

Danny Clark's car was entered as a Falcon GT Shaker. I guess his name was wrong in the programme.

[Ray Bell]

But is it 'Clark' or 'Clarke'?

[bigbanger]

But is it 'Clark' or 'Clarke'?

It'd have to be 'Clarke' with an 'e' given the windscreen banner. Most drivers can spell their own name. :confused:

[Steve Holmes]

Thanks guys, thats awesome. OK, couple more. Castrol GTX Falcons from the 1975 season.

And another. From the 1978 B&H 500. Is this Ernie or Gary Sprague at the wheel? And was Leo Leonard sharing the car also?

Fantastic guys! Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.

Does anyone recognize who this Aussie visitor was during the '60s? The photo was sent to me for my Holden book. The racer towed a caravan while he was in NZ with this Holden.

Lou Kingsley. I've got an article about him somewhere. I'll see if I can find it. He was billed as the oldest racing driver IIRC.

[Steve Holmes]

Thanks Milan, you're a legend.

[Milan Fistonic]

Here's a photo from the National Library of him racing at Ardmore in 1960.

[Milan Fistonic]

There was a piece in the Sydney Morning Herald dated 20 October 1968 about Lou Kingsley retiring from racing at the age of 80.

[Milan Fistonic]

It took a bit of finding but this is the article about Lou Kingsley.

NZGP day January 9 1960 didn't start out very well for Kingsley.

[Milan Fistonic]

There's also this article about Kingsley's Repco-headed Holden FC Station Sedan.

[Steve Holmes]

Great stuff !

I agree! This is brilliant.

[Steve Holmes]

Evan Green

Yes and John Bryson the co-driver. 1973 was the year.

[DJMcD]

I agree! This is brilliant.

When Lou Kingsley raced at Teretonga that summer he was put up against a young man called Barry Keen who drove a Triumph Herald coupe. The local newspaper gave great credence to the oldest versus youngest competitor. Barry of course went on the be the Begg "works" driver starting with the original 650 Special which is now in his safekeeping.

[Ray Bell]

An interesting point about the Evan Green/John Bryson Holden...

They used some of their surplus power to run air conditioning. It kept the dust out, and proved to them that they should have the same feature in their entry in the London-Munich World Cup Rally the following year.
