Hey - those racetrack photos are a bit spesh.Are these still part of the cache of slides that was dumped??I'd have thought one of they thar 'Cl*ssic' car rags might be interested in those - perhaps Sir Moss himself?

Hey - those racetrack photos are a bit spesh.Are these still part of the cache of slides that was dumped??SORRY FOLKS I DELETED IMAGES OF RACING CARS DUE TO RARITY AND VALUE>>..I'd have thought one of they thar 'Cl*ssic' car rags might be interested in those - perhaps Sir Moss himself?

yeah these are part of the dumped archive...Stirling and Bruce Mclaren were racing Cooper Climaxs...the yellow striped Lister Jaguar was ex -Archie Scott Brown..it came to NZ..then back to UK..then scrapped...and the light blue car i think is the Maserati 250F..theres one in the big car museum nr Wellington..ive written to NZ Classic car mag..see if they respond...and if they print they pay..free exclusive for fellow Autoshiters tho..cos its not really our thang is it...

I think the Classic & Sportscar magazine guys over here might be interested in those Stirling and Bruce Mclaren pics. I used to work next to their editorial team at Haymarket so I could ask if you like?Mark.

[fotorabia]

L plate on the pink thing means it is registered as a L ight truck

Rambler must be very new as those plates went out in 1964

and is there a furtive figure in the Waka ?
