Slobber.....
Bruce,
Slobber indeed. In the upper photo I made that Alfa look pretty fearsome with those orange cones. (Dragon like !)
Another Class was for Sports Racing and GT Cars from 1947 -1955. Group 5A
I will show some in a field that had almost 10 Allards.

I assume that those are Caltex - Pegasus the flying horse -motifs on the front of Stu car?
John,
I am not sure of the Caltex connection but it was the Mobil Oil logo back in 1951 such as John Cobb had on his Railton Special in 1947.

Ken. Wow, for all these years since I saw the Railton in the late 50s, I thought Pegasus was Caltex....and its not, its Mobil.
Thanks for the update.
BTW- had a friend with 1936 Railton a few years ago...............
John,
After reading this I am even more confused but Mobil and Caltex do have connections over the years.
https://www.revolvy.com/topic/Mobil%...tem_type=topic
"Caltex began in 1936 as the California Texas Oil Company, a joint venture between the Texas Company (later named Texaco) and Standard Oil of California (later named Chevron Corp.) to market oil from newly gained concessions in Saudi Arabia. It was renamed Caltex Petroleum Corp. in 1968. The two parent companies merged in 2001 to form ChevronTexaco (renamed Chevron in 2005) and Caltex remains one of its major international brand names."
Now, where was I ?
Ken.
Ken- is it a slow day at work today, is time dragging................?
Neat article btw- Pegasus is a neat motiff.
Geez,
I put in all these photos and the only comments I get are about Pegasus stickers on my mate's car !
I might just quit at this point.
(my boss would like that. )
(Ken H)
Don't (quit)
Ken- we love the detail you bring to us from these meetings.
Remember-we have only you to show us what goes on at these exotic meetings.
Thanks folks. I appreciate a boost when I get a bit discouraged and I am being "watched". ..
So let the ride continue. I might be putting in stuff until you are sick of it, but here I go..
The Group 6 A was for 1970-1984 Sports Cars under 2100 cc.
I did not capture much but I always liked these little beasts.

I did not see this car in the programme but when I was in Europe in 1972-73 they were great to watch in action.
1971 RS 2600 Westlake Capri. (Have to excuse the spelling on the information board !)

Another car not in the programme was this Lancia belonging to the Peter Giddings collection.
It was on display only and the attached information will explain more about this magnificent machine and why it was not running.

Absolutely awesome thread ken. Keep the pics coming.
Its great to see another 1973 Capri RS2600. I assume this is an original car? There are several very good replicas, particularly in Europe. This is the exact same model as the one raced by Paul Fahey in NZ. If this is an original, it'll be a sister car to the one Fahey had.
