Mistake Kerry's Morris was a series E, we made the pitman longer so it would steer quicker. oooo you would not allowed anything like that now.

You can see the advantage gained from racing stripes eh. Definitely worth putting on.

Does anyone know if Kerry Grant's 1960's A 40 is still around. It was white with a black roof and black wheels. I worked on the car with Kerry at Selwyn Motors Ford Dealership when it was all a very fast car.Those were the days when we drove it to the races and always managed to drive it home as well.

I think the ex Kerry Grant Farina is in Nelson owned by an ex car dealer. I have seen it race quite a few years back but don't know what condition it's in today. If the guy I knew still has it he will be looking after it. Dad used to be at Selwin Mrs as well and also worked on Kerry's car

No the Farina always managed to be driven home, not sure about the second Farina with the extended nose, that was built at Commercial Motors in P.N. Yes Levin was the track that made Kerry very successful as a racer.Great memories from there for sure.

Uncanny. I was just looking at one at a car yard in Sanson. Its a kind of mustard/yellow. Nice condition. I took an interest because I used to drive one. I have an owners manual I am going to give the guy to go with the car.

We might have just got back to "A hole in the bucket" Wonder if that was Kerry Grant! Anyone know!

Also, take a look at the crowd numbers! Restricting people to a small section of the outside of the track, well away from the action might well be safer but it totally destroys the whole spectator experience. Anyone who has been to the Goodwood Revival will know that they manage quite well with 1966 safety standards - no catch fencing, fantastic spectator viewing, leaning on an old wooden fence and being able to walk around the outside of the whole track, makes it a really good experience.Should be on every enthusiasts bucket list.
