I don't know what classes they were racing in (series production was the major category) but it was just local WA sporting car club meetings .
Was a nice pure white car with a small English flag decal on the drivers door .
Stephenson ran the 350 GTR imported by Greg Cusack, then to Niel Allen before going west ... never raced at Caversham, see link photo at Wanneroo.
Went to Tony Calvert in Tas after Stephenson, now back in the US.

I best remember the duels with Peter Briggs in the ex Beechey HK 327.

I believe his Group N car was built up from a road car whilst Stephenson was WASCC president. To be sure try http://www.speedwest.net/ or http://www.terrywalkersplace.com/

Rob, there are a few Mustangs in Group N over in the west, the ex Stillwell car for sure, dont know about the others, try speedwest they are friendly fans.

Hi Cavvy , the picture of the Mustang behind the HK Monaro is not the Mustang I was refering to , the one in the picture is a later model - I don't have any research material , but just from memory the one I was refering to was a 65/66 model and pure white (may even have had rego plates on it)
All in all I guess it doesn't really matter as it's such a long time ago - the years in question I lived and worked (auto engineering shop) in Wanneroo and used to see the "racing cars" driving to the track for practice prior to a race meeting , it was all pretty exciting for a young bloke .

Gordon Stephenson

Not my recollection but it is a year or so back.
I was doing some work for Gordon (not related to cars) thru those years & went out to Wanneroo with him, his wife & crew when he drove the Shelby for the first time. He had only raced Alfas to that point.
I dont recollect the car you speak of.
