Photos, 30 odd years ago in the land of Oz

[Chris - Melb]

I have received Frederick's photos, but I have not had a chance to scan them yet as I have had major computer problems. In fact I have just handed my new computer back to the computer store!

Steve, Sorry for the slow response, but I have not had time to look at the forum for months. This is how Bob Jane's Mustang basically looked during the entire time he raced it: http://members.tripod.com/motorsport...stang1_web.jpg

The flared guards were originally an inch or two longer for the first few races, but that's all. I would have thought the car landed in the country with the flares.

Any other flares you have seen would have been added in the Bob Stevens Sports Sedan era of the car.

Bruce, I would have thought the Bowin FF pic was John Wright as It doesn't have Grace Bros livery.

Regards,
Chris.

I'll throw one out of left feild and say the Bowin P4 is none other than John Smith

I think it's too early to be John Smith. Didn't he become prominent a couple of years later? And John Wright was a couple of years later again - 1978 or so.

I think it's a Grace Bros car - that looks like the diamond emblem behind the number on the front of the car. Wish we could get answers!

Im pretty positive its John Smith circa 1977, fortunately i have a similar pic in RCN from the same era so ive kinda cheated, lol. I had initially thought John avis who drove the car in 1976. John Wright took over the car in 1978. Seems the car liked John's

Okay. I was going by gut feel - so you're most likely right.

Still, great photos and great memories. I've got a whole lot of RCNs in boxes - must get them out and see if they are all right.
