Ray Bell should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Indeed, Tim, it is a C111. I was working for Lance Lowe in his shock absorber business, and he frequently was being invited to motor industry releases etc because he was writing for various papers..

Sometimes he would let me in on it too, knowing my enthusiasm. In this case, I think he got me to drive him to the Wentworth Hotel in Sydney where this car was being displayed for the press.

In the Minivan in which I did his deliveries...

This particular pic was taken from eye level, shooting the reflection in the mirrored panels in the ceiling of the room... I thought it would look good, and it did... even guessed the exposure correctly!

Another time he got me to drive him to GM-H at Pagewood (this was after hours) so he could pick up the latest Holden Monaro GTS... and he drove the Mini home to Guildford... heh heh

Though the Mini came in for a fast trip or two.. like the time on the eve of a holiday when we found we couldn't do anything with the struts on a Honda N360 and I had to get to Mascot, pick up some new ones, and get back in time for them to be fitted.

Never get away with that today...
