Long time no see my old friend Bill M. – that Italian 'Tyke'.
AFAIK that Pickel pic was taken by CTP. Last edited by rx-guru; 10 Aug 2007 at 01:20. |

No, "your" Pantera is a French one, AFAIK.
Yes, the RX Ferrari is a 308 GTB, pictured by my friend/counterpart Jacques Privat in 1982 in the Essay chicane (the French call it 'compression' nowadays). The name of the driver is Guy Chasseuil and I got a print by JP from that pic. |

so is this where "Mabbs bank" at Lydden came from?
such a shame it was removed it used to make that corner so much more intimidating!! JXC808D is the 'works' rallycross Rover 3500 usually driven I think by Geoff Mabbs around 1968/9- it later was rebuilt into one of the two prototype P6 racers that the BL Competitions Department commissioned just before they were closed down in 1970 http://www.roverp6.info/JXC808D.htm |

A few from downunder in the 1970's
http://www.brock05.com/mrhdtgallery/giantkillers2.jpg Another shot of the works Holden Torana GTR XU1 as above, this was built from one of the early prototype XU1 cars, (which are based on a Vauxhall Viva with a 3.3L 6cyl with triple Webers by this time). This particular car has a rear-mounted radiator as indicated by the scoops on the sides. And another angle, of another car 2 years earlier (1970) In the "other" camp were the big Falcons, this one has the "baby" 302 V8 because they were quite a bit lighter than the 351 used in other competition. Quite a few more pics, including the ex-London-Sydney marathon Austin 1800, Porsche 911, Renault 10 & 16, Holden Monaro, Toranas & Mini here- http://www.autopics.com.au/cache/lis....html?cache=no |

Was indeed the Betteridge car, one of teh cars that really got me into rallycross, was amazed to see this thing on an off road track/ Just look at that truck too, Brian's cars erally were immaculate.
Not sure if it is the ex Dimi car, but anyway, this and the Erling Jensen Rover were amazing sights in those days, not to mention the insane Welch Xtrac |

LMAO!! You're doing ok when the dude in the yellow astra seems to be going backwards off the startline!! Look out marshalls!!!! I thought the No.20 car was a Renault Fuego when I first saw it. Think the Mazda guess may be more acurate?? But anyhow, three spokes, bright yellow, four doors? What was he/ she thinking?!!?!?!?
