there are some reports that the class c winning renault gordini driven by emmett, connolly and sampson was disqualified after the race along with the second placed morris 850 in class d driven by allen and hooker. however their original placing are still shown in the list of official results. this is likely due to the scrutineers taking days to finalise their results followed by protests by the entrants at their exclusions. the completed results were widely published before the disqualifications were finally enforced thus many subsequent publications show an incorrect finishing order including bill tuckey's "australia's greatest motor race". this would make the morris major driven by edney and fayer the correct winner of class c.
