Car #42 in the event is the same car that I race now in Historic Group Nc albeit with a 1330cc engine
The car has been repainted in the same colors as we raced in the Newton Enterprises Racing team - Heather grey with a white roof.
For the record Garrie Cooper won the GP in his Elfin. Two minis finished with Steve Harvey 5th overall and myself in 12th
Newton Enterprises Racing was owned by local Singapore businessman PH Wong and was a promotional tool for his Newton Enterprises Speed Shop. He owned 2 of the minis which he provided for guest drivers like Peter Manton and Steve Harvey to drive.The others were owned by privateers but we received help with parts and workshop facilities(PH Wong seemed to have access to BMC Special Tuning goodies before they became available off the shelf)
The Brabham Climax driven by Gricey was also owned by Newton Enterprises.It is now back in Australia and is now in the Mildren Team yellow livery
Car #61 Lotus Super 7 is also now in Australia and has been repainted in the Newton Enterprises colors

Thanks a lot Ken....I can imagine that there was a fair attrition rate over the 60 laps as well....do you remeber approx how many finished

Love the entries by A.N. Other and a certain Mr Bond (the signwriter?)
