“This time Sydney, New South Wales. Maroubra Speedway June 1927. Newspaper photograph confirming NSW registration 63938. This is the same driver car combination in the black and white photos from the book ‘Half Centenary of Speed’ (see below). Note the cowling to improve streamlining.”

Brooklands Maroubra

“I bought it from a photographic stall at Manly Beach near Sydney which had all sorts of repro photos on sale . Spent about another 15 mins trying to find more but that was the only old car pic. 

If you search Maroubra on Google there is a good description of the track on Wikipedia.”
