Is this the FIA 289 replica that John Olsen built. back in.....98?Originally Posted by nigel watts
Not sure but the number plate would suggest that it is.
Nigel, it is very disappointing that you don't give names of cars, particularly of the front engined Formula Junior cars.
I would love to know what some of these are
You seem to have fallen into ERC's annoying habit.
Half the fun of looking at the photos is knowing what car they are.
Should be easy to fix for the benefit and enjoyment of viewers.
Terry, these are all regular FJ cars except maybe Duncan's Alexis (the Orange car). If you can't recognise a Cooper or a Stanguellini by now, then you obviously aren't really that interested!
You obviously have no idea how much time and effort goes into posting photographs on here and if you are that stuck, why not get a race programme or download a meeting entry list? You are the only one of all the posters on here who has ever brought this up and I for one really appreciate all of Nigel's photographs as he is a genuine photographer who understands not only how to drive the camera, which is obviously far better than mine, but also has a great 'eye' for what constitutes a picture rather than a mere snapshot.
Once again, the clue is in the thread "Images".
Type "Formula Junior" in Google and check out the images. There are 1000's of them and many, many websites with well labelled pictures.
Keep up the great work Nigel.
Nigel- fantastic pix of the Historic Sports Sedans, we were talking in the weekend about how neat yours were. Keep up the great work
Yes. Olsen Cobra. This was the first chassis built by John Olsen, but the last to be completed.
Rogan, who still owns and drives the car, commissioned the body, which was built by Ivan Cranch.

So nice to have a positive and informative response.
Thank you Ray & John
My hobby/passion is photography and I intend to keep on posting my images here as long as you guys are interested.
Sorry to disappoint you Terry S, and I'm afraid I'm going to continue to disappoint you.
I guess I must have been unreasonable
