help needed - reference photo John Goss Australian G.P. 1976

[indyfan007]

Hi guys,

I'm desperately searching for a good driver-suit and helmet photo of John Goss at the Tasman F5000 Australian G.P. 1976.

I build 1/18th scale standing driver figures for my models and I have the winning Matich A53 model-car from Classic Carlectables.
I have never had so much problems to find a descent reference photo as for this driver...
I reviewed hundrets of photos in my F5000 books but nothing of John Goss.
There are some very small pics that I have found on Autopics.com.au but I cannot identify the patches & sponsors and his helmet design - too small.
I have mailed autopics.com.au for a higher resolution of these pics but they wanted 50 AU$ for these (!!!) Insane...

Any help is gladly appreciated!

Thank you.
Markus

Once you're there, do a search for him in the full Nostalgia Forum. There is a fairly recent F5000 thread that may do it for you.

The 1976 AGP was the first round of the 1976 Gold Star.  

The Tasman Series finished the year before in 1975 : 





There is an interview with Goss near the end of the video but again no overalls detail.

I just watched the end of the Tasman clip again and Goss is beside Warwick Brown at the "Presentation" and you can sort of see his Race Suit.
