Jean,
All of the F1 drivers were driven around the track by members of the Austin
Healey Sprite Club here in Melbourne.
Interestingly they were all Bug Eyes that were used on this occasion.
The cars for the F1 drivers parade each year at the Grand Prix are provided
by a different Car Club each year at the invitation of the Grand Prix
organisers
My local Healey Club have provided the parade cars for the drivers on a
number of occasions,usually featuring a different model on each occasion
eg.all 100/4 or 100/6 etc
Cheers
Graeme
