Yep original bench seat. Think this changed after a well known car dealers seat collapsed in the car (Falcon?) he was sharing with (I think) Dick Johnson later on in B&H race.
The Red Falcon GT in the photo is the Greymouth Mptors car of Jim Kennedy that I was responsible for looking after back at that time ,this was before it got its upgrade before the Southern series of the same year
Thanks for this Bob.
OK, moving now to the 1971 B&H event, and this is from the Golden 100 race that preceded the B&H race. The Golden 100 required only 3 examples be imported into NZ to be eligible. The race was won by Richard Brocklehurst in a Torana XU1. This is another of the XU1's, possibly the Roy Harrington car.

Post #32-Andersons car without the saw blades painted on the number.
I have always thought that the Monaro 76 was Tom Russell from Wellington. Someone who has access to better info than mine might like to correct me.
Allan
I dont have this mag yet.
On my Monaro site #371, Allan, you suggested his name, no one has confirmed this so far .
I will keep looking for our unidentified pilot.
Sorry I've not updated this thread for a while. I'd been playing with the images, trying to lighten them up, but without losing the quality. They're superb images, with so much going on in them, but they're very dark, so I was trying to get a balance. Anyway, I failed, but will keep posting these, having done the best I can.
