Second photo - I was standing alongside after this race when the Clerk of Course gave Cobber Hurley (the Healey driver) a dressing down for not rejoining the circuit at the point he'd spun off it
I'm sure everyone will recognise the other car in that pic as Stuart Donnelly's Zephyr Special...

Incident at the hairpin 70 f5000 Levin
Attachment 9113
The elusive Mr Griffiths in the BRP, actually under its own power, a rare occasion!
I can remember Rob Campbell of Hot Rod Magazine showing me a sponsorship proposal from Kaye Griffiths for the BRP Tasman trip, as I recall the intention was to win all the races and the series and for a huge amount of dollars Hot Rod Magazine could have some signage on the car. I guess a large number of proposal letters were sent to prospective Kiwi concerns, none appear to have taken up the offer, but I do understand Mr Griffiths departed NZ very quietly and quickly owing large sums of money around the country.
The incident at the Levin hairpin was in the Gold Star race at the International meeting after Bryan Faloon disintergrated the Climax engine leaving a large trail of oil and engine parts in the braking area. Spinners included Graeme Lawrence and Dennis Marwood fortunately without hitting anything.
Ferris rebuilt the BRP and sent it back to UK ,

This time the #141 Mustang is Coppins! #1 McLaren with shovel nose is Ron Grable.
Absolutely awesome photos, bring back a lot of good memories.
Yes great photos Lenny Gilbert Bristol sports Hislop D Type Pat Hoare v12 Bob Smith Squalo Bob Edde blue 250 Jenson holding rag Tec Mac Coppins then again may be wrong???
Yes the Lenny Gilbert Coper Bristol sports, I think Bert Jones drove it a few times, maybe prior to these photos. The Maserati 250F is the Brian Prescott car with a young Richard Sisler assisting in the foreground left. Tec Mec at Ohakea is Johnny Mansel.
Yes I felt I was wrong now Jim boyd HWM is no1 photo Oldfart has upset my memory I think Prescot and Edde did they both have the 250?? Damm Silcocks Jag is on here twice

Bert Jones No.26 in the earlier Cooper-Bristol photo, Ian Young 43 a year later.
It's Rod Coppins in the Tec-Mec at Ohakea 1962, refitted with the single-seater body after damaging the sportscar version at Dunedin
And the lighter colour of the Tojeiro suggests it was when Bill Gardiner was campaigning it
Thanks David, I couldn't remember Rod driving the Tec Mec with the single seater body as it was when Mansel had it.
Was Brents car the Brian Friends at a later date???

3rd photo in post #3 is the Lawrence family Peugeot 203. I am waiting for confirmation who is driving. Looks a bit tall for Graeme, could be Doug or Tony.
David the A40 is Kerry Grant. I got to see the Brian Ax A40 very regularly in my last few years at Palmerston North Boys High, because his son, Clark drove it to school every day once he was able to drive to school.
Just talking to dad he was saying that its Tony in the Peugeot and Doug in the Lola in post #2

It's possible the unknown #24 in post 37 may be Richard McNair in the Gemini.
No, I think it's one of the Begg FM2s
Pretty sure last shot in post 38 is Peter Slocombe's PMS-Climax
