That's it , put the pressure on me Sean :lol:

Ian , I got them from a (long gone) model dealer in Lismore close to 20 years ago , they are branded "Appendix "J" decals" , the yellow one is AJ009 , the blue one AJ007 . No idea if the company is still making them or of anyone else who makes them now though . Any details on the ones you got Sean ?

Here is the LHD car at Catalina.

The Neptune team ran blue cars from 64 to 66 (maybe early 67) and then ran black for about a year and then in 68 they changed to Shell yellow and later on to light blue.

It would have run a weber. It was an Improved Production car so there was no chance of it keeping twin SUs.

I don't think that is Manton. His car didn't have a white roof. In that race he should have been in a black car just like his team mate in the background. :wink:

I would imagine that he would have run a Weber all along but I have no proof.
