  • The First Elfin "Works" 1500 Chassis No. 625 Driver Frank Matich
    The First Elfin "Works" 1500 Chassis No. 625 Driver Frank Matich In Late 1962 Garrie Cooper sent a number of Elfin products to the Sydney Motor show to display what the South Australian manufacturer was producing at that time. On the stand were 2 Formula Juniors, one with the normal 1100cc engine the other with 1475cc, a Clubman and a rolling chassis with gearbox fitted. At the conclusion of the Motor Show, Elfin invited all the leading drivers to Warwick Farm to test the 3 cars. The Elfin stand Sydney Motor Show later September 1962 SCW On the Test day quite a few of the leading drivers of the time turned up to sample what Elfin had produced. These included Johnny Martin, David McKay, Alan Ferguson, Charlie Smith, Doug Kelly, Bruce Polain, Arnold Glass, Peter Williamson and of course Frank Matich and others. In the end Garrie Cooper saw that Matich had got the most out of the cars that day and asked him to be their agent for NSW and to use the cars in competition to further expose Elfin to the wider racing fraternity. Elfin FJ 625 becomes the "Works" 1500 Driver Frank Matich After the test day, Garrie left 625 (now fitted with the 1500 engine) in Matich's care to run in the Hordern Trophy race in mid October. 627 returned with Garrie to the factory to have modifications made to it at Matich's suggestion. Apparently Frank had a few tricks he wanted to try in the other chassis and Garrie took it back to Adelaide to incorporate them.

    The HSRCA 1960s Racing Cars Groups M & O Newsletter No19 July 2012 Ed Holly HSRCA Registrar [email protected] The views expressed in this newsletter are not necessarily those of the Historic Sports and Racing Car Association, the HSRCA, nor that of the editor. The newsletter exists for the benefit of all those who have an interest in the 1960s racing cars, and especially the owners and drivers of these wonderful machines. Welcome to the Winter edition of our newsletter. As you can see our Groups now have a logo – a badge that we can proudly wear on our cars. The design was commissioned with Michael Menzies of Audacitycreative with the brief to produce something that emphasizes our Group designation of M and O, and shows a typical car from the 1960s period, which was very early on was dominated by the rear engine car. Michael did the 2006 Tasman Revival website for us. If you look closely at the car shown, it has a bit of all the major Marques of that period, Lotus, Brabham, etc, and yet you can see a bit of the home grown cars too, like Elfin and Rennmax and then again maybe even the Neal Ford Mk2 or Delta. One hopes that it will in time adorn every eligible M and O logbooked car and maybe a few within the 1960s timeframe cars that compete here from overseas too at the Tasman Revival. A quantity of these will be printed by the kind offer of Bruce Mansell and will be at Wakefield Park in September.

  • A Famous Australian Car and Famous Australian Driver Return to Compete at the Tasman Revival
    A FAMOUS AUSTRALIAN CAR AND FAMOUS AUSTRALIAN DRIVER RETURN TO COMPETE AT THE TASMAN REVIVAL Leo Geoghegan’s famous white 1964 Lotus 32 twincam 1500 is to return to Australia for the Tasman Revival. Now back in its iconic and distinctive Total Team coloured livery, the car is owned and raced by Peter Studer from Switzerland. The car will arrive with others from the UK. Back in 1964, Leo won first time out in the Hordern Trophy at Warwick Farm. This augured well for the upcoming Tasman Series and indeed Leo was the first 1.5 litre car home in the New Zealand GP, finishing 6th. In Australia Leo finished 8th in the Warwick Farm Tasman event. Later that year Leo took a string of 2nd places beating many 2.5 litre cars along the way. In 1966 Leo took delivery of the ex-Jim Clark Lotus 39 and the 32 was sold. Leo still has very fond memories of his time with this wonderful Lotus. Tasmanian Scotty Taylor will make his debut at a Tasman Revival in his Cooper Type 53, which he has used extensively in the UK and Europe. Scotty Taylor is no stranger to Australian circuits, having driven Bathurst on an incredible 21 occasions. These days Scotty spends 6 months of the year in the “over there” racing a number of historic cars including his Cooper Type 53 and a Lotus 18 which he bought at a Bonhams auction here in 2008 from the John Dawson-Damer collection. The Cooper Type 53 has a real significance to the Australian scene as it was in one of these that Sir Jack Brabham won his 2nd world championship with in 1960.
