The DKW Junior reg # AC3000 is Brian Crosbie with his wife Denise alongside!
Great photos Milan, I think maybe Shell and Dunlop were helping out the southern team. They certainly had Dunlop R5/6 tyres which were worth a few seconds.
Again thanks for very special photos!

The shirtless one bending down into Clark's cockpit would be Ray Parsons, would it not?
Now if you wanted a car from the period how about this?

Milan, think that would be Birdwood Road so a few years before they went to Cosseys, would it be 1963 or 1964.
Also I would like to place the Roy Harrington photo on the " NSCC the Early Years " thread. Bob Homewood posted an extract from Club Torque of the Birdwood Hill Climb some time ago.
Definitely Birdwood Rd, used to race there in 1983/84
When I see these great photos of Milan's, it reminds me of how Jim Clark enjoyed his time in NZ.
He raced hard but also had fun such as in this photo from Graham Gauld's book "Jim Clark. Portrait of a Great Driver."
He was possibly a guest of Tony Shelly's, who lived just up the road from this bay at Lake Taupo.

(Just a quick p.s. Who might that be leaning on the Lotus in # 10 series that shows Bruce McLaren and Phil Hill ?
(Ken Hyndman )
Thanks Milan so damn good to see these , never before seen photos keep them rolling , I never knew Ernie drove a fiat with Barry Cottle , as the years rolled on Gary also share a fiat with Barry........ oddly I race two of them as well.. Ken your photos are fantastic too .............. Thanks Guys
Just found this slide of the Stanton Special being carried away after running over David Young's FJ Cooper at Mount Maunganui in December 1963.

Jim Boyd
Thanks Milan. I was in the same spot. The marshals had no problem keeping the spectators back after seeing this. I think the little Cooper was just behind the truck against the fence? How no one was killed. :)
Strange wheels for a Cooper!
Why Ray? Certainly a mix, but both ends are different versions of Cooper wheels, "Bananas" on the front, and they look like 500/ Cooper Bristol wheels on the back aren't they? Perhaps a way to have dirt tyres ?
My apologies...
I confused the Stanton Special with the Cooper.
Great photos thank you for sharing , I did not even know David raced the cooper up here, [but a young boy at the time ] I recall the Stanton Corvette though chain driven , I think it was Levin the chain let go , & Ernie saying lucky no one got hurt .... [or killed]
Great photos Milan. Thank you for showing us.
I take it that Bill Stone's Cooper is the ex Denny Hulme T52? If so, that should mean the rear wheels are the original style fitted to the first Cooper Formula Juniors.
Would anyone have a date (even approximate) for the Hillclimb the Stone and Boyd photos were taken at please?
Stephen
Thanks Stephen. I would think they were taken in 1965.
Yes the Cooper is the T52 that Hulme brought to NZ.
Milan, thank you for confirming those details.
Stephen
The Boyd photo has to be after 1964, number plate is the clue there, it's still on the skinny wheels and before he put on the roll bar. It's still shiney and tidy too :)
