Baz, I hope you dont mind, but I posted these pics on a Valiant website, one of the members is a retired race car photographer for Race Car News magazine, he was around from late 50's till mid 80's.

Here is what he remembers about the cars pictured.

A Milano GT Holden, possibly Bruce Leer, at Silverdale Hillclimb (I think it's Silverdale)

Erol Richardson, I believe, at the same hill. (Open wheeler)

A Datsun rally car at that hill too.

The back-to-front pic is the Leo Geoghegan Holden with Repco head, MG box and discs etc (Blach FX Back to front due to number on door, but another member has pointed out that only the number is backward - the NSW on rear quarter is correct, the exterior mirror is on drivers door & the rego sticker is in L/H corner)

Next is under the bonnet thereof.

Then there's the Sir Gawainne Baillie Galaxie through the Sandown Fence at the '64 Sandown 6-hour race (as punched through the stout timber by Lex Davison)

Ian Geoghegan's Mustang rear view exiting Suttons Corner at Oran Park, in colour heading out of the Oran Park Esses for that corner and finally, in the Esses at Bathurst.
