Nice to see that the dark haired lady in the first picture had matching collar and cuffs.

The sad thing is, they are both possibly grandmothers now...

Great photo's so nice to see photo's of the old cars, especially mine!
If anyone else has photo's of my old cars (and the old gal ) would LOVE to see them all!
Kindest regards, Sylvia x
The year must be either '79 or '80, as I got the Paul Rossi Doge in '81, and in the early days did not have a paint job on Mopar Missile (really called Mother Trucker ) so I hazard a quess at 1979 - any prizes???

I hope you dont mind, but have put the photo on my little website, I see it is copyright, so let me know if I'm in trouble!

No your not it trouble Sylvia, just stuff a plain brown envelope with used notes and we'll say no more!
Your almost spot on with the date 79 or 80 you say.. it was 1980, but I've no idea when in 1980, in the spring perhaps?

These were taken at one of the Brighton Metropole Dragster & Custom Shows by former SCR starter Tony Byng. Not sue which year they are from. Could be from the second show held in 1979 or the 1980 show as I have show guides for those years. How many shows were held in Brighton and were they a success being so far south of the action.

I'll agree with 1982!!!!
The only reason being that the picture of Russ Carpenter Glacier Grenade has my mum taking me out of the cockpit as a strapping little toddler!!!! LoL
Wish I could remember those days............................
