I recently scanned more of Tony’ personal slides including some of his cars. His beloved Holden, purchased from Garry Rogers Motors.

Tony later upgraded that to a green Holden Torana GTR XU-1. He often spoke of this car.

I know Tony had a Ford V8 along the way but have no photo (EDIT: photo found). He upgraded the Ford to a 1998 White WRX with gold Simmons mag wheels, then founded the NSW WRX Club and later upgraded to a White Subaru 4 door STi, with the number plates Sic Em.

Tony and many others loved the dirt days at Bathurst where we see Sic Em in action below.

When he moved to Forster, Tony took the STi and later sold it to finance his Hobie Adventure Island. It was a smart move as Tony enjoyed immensely sailing around the lakes and out to sea. Tony was then using a Holden Commodore Wagon as his motor, serviced free of charge by Dave Dick. Thanks Dave.

Not only did Tony photograph the F1 cars, he has several images of F1 drivers. A few of which later died on the track, so Tony told me.

The image with Tony speaking to the driver was a photo I found when helping clean out his unit. It is just an iPhone image of the photo. If you do not recognise a young Tony, it is the image with three people in it and Tony is on the left (last image in list).

EDIT: from Paul Harper:

Wow. I have seen some of these before, but not all of them.

Top left, Dan Gurney – great American driver who started the tradition of spraying champagne on the winners podium. When he won at Le Mans, he no doubt appalled the french organisers by spraying his bottle of champagne over the other winners and anyone else within range! Also invented the little flap on the end of the wing (gurney flap) that greatly increased the downforce produced for very little additional drag. He was a genius engineer as well as a genius driver.

Immediately below Dan Gurney, Jackie Stewart. Nothing more needs to be said.

Also a couple of shots of the late great Graham Hill.

I have seen the pic of Tony talking to Jacki Ickx before. Amazing.

EDIT2: Top right is Karl Jochen Rindt. He was a German-born racing driver who represented Austria during his career. In 1970, he was killed during practice for the Italian Grand Prix and became the only driver to be posthumously awarded the Formula One World Drivers’ Championship. (Source: Wikipedia) His name is on his racing suit!

Driver to the right of Jackie Stewart is probably Pedro Rodríguez de la Vega from Mexico.

Third row left is Mike Spence, Spa 1967. I found a copy of the image Tony put on the web. He was killed in an accident in 1968 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Middle of the top row is Jo Bonnier, Swedish driver. He was killed in the 1972 Le Mans race.

Bottom row, middle image, Guy Ligier, French driver.

Tony did not limit himself to fast cars, fast motorbikes were also on the menu. They look like British motorbikes, but I know nothing about motorbikes. The safety gear has sure improved since those days. Images sponsored by Foster’s Lager.

Images Tony took at various motorsport events across Europe. Nick Hutchin’s believes one of those red Ferraris is a very rare variant. EDIT: it is car 24 a Ferrari 330P4, 1967 Le Man`s 24hr, finished 3rd. Thanks Nick.

Unfortunately, Tony misplaced or lost many of his slides, but enough remain to indicate he did have create a rich legacy on his European trip.

The name Englebert plastered all over one of the images was probably the Belgium tyre manufacturer that was big in F1 in the 1960’s. The location is probably Spa Raceway in Belgium in 1967.

You have probably not seen Tony looking so young!
