A few 'Brownys' - all down here in Timaru....
Dave Brown "Brownie" sadly passed away February 2 years away, and he had the awesome Shell sport spec Cherry (still in the family as far as I am aware) his twin brother Laurence built the Findlays bakery shell sport replica 1200 coupe, which Wayne Murdoch now owns, and it is his Dave's son Richard who has that mint left hook 510, that you guys have posted pictures of.
Bart the "Brownie" you are referring too, is Bruce Brown, who does club sport & classic racing in an Orange 1200 coupe, with a Wayne Murdoch screamer A series in it, which was recently for sale on trademe. no relation to Dave / Richard as far as I am aware.
