There were 2 Brian Wood Ford backed hardtops, one for Murray, the other for Rod Stevens/ Bill Evans number 36 (18 x 2 =) I do recall this, hence the google search for this, I wonder what were the origins of this 2nd hardtop as these 2 drivers (Stevens & Evans)used to drive Brian Wood Ford backed escorts in the touring car races.
Very interesting to know the origins of the other XC Hardtops entered by the other privateers (12 hardtops all up) and where they ended up.
Same goes for the 13 Hardtops entered in the 1978 race https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1978_Hardie-Ferodo_1000 |
That's very interesting, thanks for sharing that. I was searching through other races to find a number 3 Brian Wood sponsored hardtop but still found absolutely nothing. I'll have to look through the 1978 Hardie Ferodo.
It's just a pity that there are hardly any photos around, I'm assuming a majority, if there are any more, would be in earlier magazines etc.
