I noticed Mark appearing in the passenger seat of the red 100/4 in the McLaren historic cars lineup at Goodwood last weekend. Can be seen briefly on Youtube.
Mark still has this car and it is still running well. It was also my first Austin-Healey that I bought off my next door neighbour, Trevor Burnnand back in 1972. Trevor imported it from England after his OE in the 60's. I still see him occasionally and he still regrets selling it to me all those years ago. He told me he nearly bought a 100S in England , but it was a few quid dearer!! Trevor's brother Don also owned the ex John Seabrook 100M, but he sold it to buy a section on the banks of the Tamaki River, not far from the old Panmure bridge - probably a better investment today!!
That's me on the left as a young fella. My brother and father raced at this meeting and I helped them. I remember big crowds and really cool cars.Quote:

My friend still says how he burnt his leg on the exhaust of the Cooper with Stirling at the wheel. I am not sure who it was in the Cooper in the photo, was it Rolly Levis?

Sorting through a filing cabinet today (trying to find my will!!!) I came across a colour negative film of the event, that obviously wasn't with the 400+ films I'd been cataloguing earlier in the year. Will scan one or two shortly. I also came across just one unmounted colour positive - yup, Austin Healey BL 4893...
Not as crisp and clear as the Ross Cammick photo above of course and possibly a bit scuffed.
Hi , Yes now you say that ,looks like Charlie.Used to sell your dad a bit of fibreglass years ago,was it you that made the replica model of my little green bugeye sprite?
Just adding pics to my 'Mix of Pics' thread. Easier to keep track of what I have uploaded if they are on one thread rather than scattered all over the place.
Great to see the photo #51, I often talk about that meeting and when I say I was on the grid beside Stirling Moss I get sideways glances so it was neat to see that photo,I was driving the Buckler MK5 for Bruce Sutcliffe
Ross Hollings posted this on the Yards and Yarns thread.
Have placed it here ;

Not a BRM think that is Brad Chibnall [ former AHCCNZ President ] in the shorts.
A Maserati 250 as mentioned by ERC, the Green paint and Dunlop Centrelock steel wheels threw me, anmd as usual no notes on the photos, oops.. Nice car though
Attachment 32044
Not The BRM again
Attachment 32045
The Roycroft Ferrari
Attachment 32046
I don't think that is a BRM Roger... Nor is this!
Roger,
Looks more like a Maserati 250 F and with the steel wheels it probably has disc brakes.
They were raced in Formula One from 1954 to 1960.
Stirling Moss said they were the best front engine race car he ever drove.
He won the 1956 NZGP here at Ardmore driving one.
Does anyone know the history of this gem ?
(Ken H )
Doesn't this particular car have a link to Chris Amon? I'm sure I have seen a photograph of Chris in it and yes, a Maserati.
Google:

Post #20.... "Chris Amon in his former Maserati 250F chassis 2509 NZFMR Chris Amon Festival 2011"
Its probably the 250F thats been in the Southward collection for many years.
Steve,
It certainly is a beautiful restoration and it looks a lot better now than in 1989 !

ERC, Ray and Ken H too !! an oops, have corrected the description, will remain wrong in the photos.Quote:

Ken, I seem to recall that Chris Amon drove the blue 250F at the Ardmore reunion & I'm pretty sure that it belongs to the Southward MuseumQuote:

They are worth sharing ;
a great field, real mix of cars - the 1989 Reunion Event.

The BRG Maserati, well according to a note on TRS was rebuilt by Owen Organisation / BRM with disc brakes [ Ken H ] and Dunlop centrelock wheels.
some note from SPman

Ross, hope you don't mind the 1959 results, not sure about the date on the B @ W pic, doesn't look like 1959, helmets and a single seater towards the back with a wing !!
and had the photo of the Maserati and it is wet, I do not remember the rain that day, all my pictures are of a sunny day.
From memory, the winged car was a Lotus 69.
That will be 1989! The Shell stickers give it away.
The entry list in Post #42 shows Ray Wilkinson in a Lotus 69. There's also a good photo of the car in Post #13.Quote:

I've some photos from 1999 of Martin's car with wings (I think Ray owned it at the time), but the rear wing is a lot lower and the roll hoop is a lighter colour. Did Ray have more than one Lotus 69?
Bry3500 - Thanks for that, saw it today from an Austin Healey guy I know - he is in it, and shared the link
Must have a good look
Another new Youtube clip is one on the 1993 Telecom Classic at Hamilton [ Frankton ] - which is the TVNZ footage - It is unedited. The work to produce was done for Laurie Brenssell - who was the main Organiser of the Events in 1993 and 1994 - The 1994 event film / video is in the pipeline.
Cheers
Roger
" here's a shot of Chris Amon driving the blue 250F ".
As mentioned a Maserati 250F - which ran " Dunlop " Centrelock Wheels and Disc Brakes - as fitted by The Owen organisation - I incorrectly called it a BRM a few years ago - even on my own photos - until corrected.
Great shot Nigel
Note the 1959 grid shot, just how many of those cars we still see.
I don't recall that car ever being blue. A very dark green is how I remember it.Quote:
