On 11th Sept 2013 I showed some photographs of a 1958 Chevrolet Corvette at the HSCC Summer Race meeting at Oulton Park on 4th July 1992. Here are photographs of three other Chevrolets at that meeting, two of which (at least) took part in the HSCC Independance Day race.
This is the 1969 Stingray of Hal Danby and is the car which is shown in the background, apparently abandoned at the trackside, in one of the photographs on the earlier post.
This is a 1964 Chevrolet Malibu entered by Norman Abbott Racing and driven in the race by John Young
A 1963 Corvette Stingray (number 39) is shown in the programme of the event entered by Hal Danby and driven in the race by Tim Wright and this may be that car before the race number was applied.
Hal took me for a spin in this in the Sudbury area. I pulled up behind it one night, couldn't believe it, one of the most beautiful cars ever made. I found the owner through the Corvette Owners Club. He only lived about 4 miles from me. I contacted him and he was very obligeing, hence the ride. Sorry he died quite young.
ReplyDeleteSpilt rear screen..........only on the '63.
ReplyDeleteIt had racing white roundel decals (no number). He told me it had disc brakes from the original drums and different carbs.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments - it's always interesting to read stories about the cars in the photographs.
