My next 2 1964 Cooper S projects arrived at Coongarri last night!.. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

Yes it was John Ian... Sam Tingle also drove the LDS in Team Gunston colours. The remains of that car is at Dads shop...I have a lot of the old race programs from my grandfather packed in the container that I need to go through....Found this pic in a program.. Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

No Ian... That was the LDS based of the BT11 with a 1 1/2 L repco engine.. It’s the LDS based of the Cooper T53 that he raced before that one.. Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

H

How do you find the time?!

 

lol

 

Looks like they’ve had the wheels driven off them. [emoji16]

 

Stand in the corner with your dunce cap on

 

And take your spot? Never. [emoji16]

 

Lucky he didn't tell you to park in the corner.

 

The green shell looks much later than the white one - is that allowed for racing, or is it just a fun project?

 

Both original English 64s Pat....

 

OK, it must be the light. The green one looks to have a larger rear screen and concealed hinges

 

I’d say just hadn’t got hinges on, doors tied to body.


Silly signature here to annoy KIAI

 

Yes hinges are in the boot..I tied the doors on as it has to be stripped and repainted..

 

Missed the ties. I'm old and don't see too well.

 

Gezim say's GREAT! lead me to Tasmania!

 

Getting back to the Lotus, I tried to balance the carbs yesterday, as it's not idling smoothly and is a bit rough on cruise, and couldn't get the front carb balanced - maybe a twisted butterfly spindle, maybe something worse, so I dropped it off to the local guru to have it checked - hopefully a compression/leak down test will be OK.

 

Yep, what could possibly go wrong??!?!?!!

(a) It's his job to see well, I've only got to do as I'm told
(b) They might not let him in to Tasmania

 

I've got a list, and it's getting longer, not shorter

 

It's been on the cards for years

That is such a shame, the last circuit in the suburbs of a major city and so much history.

Sadly inevitable, the value of the land would be the overwhelming consideration for the owners.

NSW Govt have recently tipped $10m into SMSP so we should be OK in Sydney for year or three, although it will end up as houses too.

 

Just up the road from where "Flog" Andrews lives .
