Those are the Maroon and Silver Broadspeed Escort 1300s of Chris Craft and John Fitzpatrick negotiating the fast Russell Bend kink at Snett in 1968. Great shot! The first Triumph Spitfire shown above is Richard Lloyd's. This car has recently returned to the track at the Goodwood revival.

Divina has driven a variety of cars over the years. Interesting to see the Southern Organs sponsorship, didn't the person who ran Southern Organs go to jail??.

Is that the Divina Galica that has run in the Womens Global GT Championship recently?

This is a picture of a Mk1 Lotus Escort owned by a bloke in our car club. This car raced at Bathurst in the early 70's. This car had a whining problem

Some great pics Andrew, but the spooky thing is that I was reading a 1990?1 copy of Autosport last night which had a picture of a certain painter applying his trade. Autosport show I believe. Guilty?

Here is a pic of an FVA-powered Escort raced by Allan Moffat in Australia. It arrived here in October 1970 and raced like this a week later. Anybody got any clues as to its origin?[IMG]H:\Moffat\escort70.jpg[/IMG]

BeeJay17, your image is pointing to a file on your H: drive, which (strangely enough) I do not have. Please sent me your H: drive.

Andrew, I see you are all over Autosport, whole sections on you, and it is just me that did not realise that you are "famous". Sorry if I sounded a complete idiot!

Sorry about that. At the moment I cannot seem to post an image with my text. Can you explain it to me or send an email?

BeeJay,

I am in a situation at the moment where I don't have webspace. If you are prepared to post the image for me, that'd be a generous offer. My email is beejays@tpg.com.au if you want to give me contact details. Thanks.
