Stumbling around a swap meet over the weekend and found a few glossy colour photos of some interesting cars and people. They were the right price so came home with the rest of the junk found.

 

The best I can work out is they relate to the Fangio Sandown meeting of September 1978. There's the Mercedes W196, Jane 300S and one with Jack Brabham and friends (at what appears to be Calder though). Plus this one, shown partially here for the Rice trailer content. It's clearly Doug Whiteford's old trailer and appears to at that stage in life doing duty for Bob Jane.

The D Type was Bob Jane's and elsewhere on this forum you can read about it being stolen from one of Bob's T Mart tyre centre.

This short piece on the first Warwick Farm by Mark Bisset has several Rice trailers lurking in the background.

From memory both Jane and Whiteford had identical Rice trailers built  , this is the Jane one perhaps as the Whiteford went with his 300s when bought by the Leech bros .
