I am hoping to find pics of "Amber Gambler" which I ran in the early seventies and "Jaffa Cake" which I ran prior to that (late sixties). Anyone out there got anything?

I remember seeing Amber Gambler, the Pro Stock Camaro at Santa Pod in '76 but unfortunatly didn't take any pics but did take a short clip of it in the pits with my cine camera which is on one of my DVDs http://www.timetraveldvds.co.uk What times did you run with it, and was it a US race car or British built?

Thanks timetravel. I built the car with a lot of help from Dennis Priddle as we were in the same stables. The car ran high tens. I lost all my photos in a fire and would love to be able to see some again and your cine clips. Found your website a few days ago (new to this internet stuff!). Any idea which of your dvds the clip would be on and how I can view it?

AGW5. Austin 10/4, built by Steve Birch, later owned and rebuilt by Wayne Saunders (not the racer though) and owned for the last twenty or so years by Sue Meanley from Birmingham who's rebuilt it several times and uses it almost daily. The plate is no longer on the car.
