There was one made in Australia in 1975 starring the American (alleged) actor Ben Murphy, which included dirt track footage and some roadrace footage shot at Bathurst.


Wasn't all that good, though... :)

(PS I used to often see Meillon getting sozzled at the Mosman Rowing Club when I lived over that way :-)

PPS found this one looking for John stuff...terrific!
