Old Yeller II owner/driver : Ernie Nagamatsu – Los Angeles, California, USA
Old Yeller is a 1958 6.5 litre Buick V8 powered sports car which was something of an icon in sports car racing in the USA in the late 1950’s when driven by its constructor Max Balchowsky and, on occasion, by Dan Gurney. Balchowsky delighted in ‘stirring’ the owners of more sophisticated factory built cars by highlighting the car’s simple specification and always used ‘whitewall’ tyres as part of that image.

An experimental F2 car built to test De Dion suspension systems. The car was prepared for use by Graham Hill in the 1969 Tasman series but was not used.

Brabham BT7 Climax 1.5 V8 owner / driver : James King – Belleville, Illinois USA
1963 F1 car driven by Dan Gurney to win the French and Mexican GPs in 1964. The first Brabham to win a grand prix. Subsequently driven by Denny Hulme and Giancarlo Baghetti.

Brabham BT14 Lotus TC 1.6 owner / driver Rodger Newman (UK)
1965 F2 car driven by Rodney Bloor in several European F1 races and identical to cars of this type which were used in Tasman series events.

Cooper T79 Climax 2.5 owner / driver : Bob Woodward – Dubuque, Iowa USA
1964 Tasman formula car driven by Bruce McLaren to finish 2nd in the 1965 Tasman series. Although built at the Cooper factory Bruce McLaren was largely responsible for the design and construction of this car which is therefore sometimes regarded as the first McLaren car.

Kieft GP Climax 2.5 Godiva V8 owner : Bill Morris (UK) driver : Greg Snape (Aust)
This car was intended for use in the new 2.5 litre world championship F1 in 1954/55 but was not completed when Coventry Climax withdrew its 2.5 litre V8 engine from use because of concerns that its power output was inadequate. The car was completed in recent years by Bill Morris for use in historic events and it now appears likely that it would in fact have been competitive if raced when initially built.

Lotus 18 Climax 1.5 owner / driver : John Elliot (UK)
1961 F1 car driven by Wolfgang Seidel and Kurt Kuhnke in European GP events. Cars of this type were driven in early Tasman style events by Stirling Moss, Ron Flockhart and others.
