Photos from 1976 (arrival of the Cheetahs after Rebels went to White City) to 1978 are appearing on entries on Wikipedia. However the entry for Oxford Cheetahs seems to contain a number of inaccuracies about dates and names of riders. Any Speedway historians out there who can provide accurate editing?

Before my time and there will many out there who can help but the excellent Story of Oxford Speedway says that in 1976 the team that started the season was Mick Handley Carl Askew Kevin Young Steve Holden Mal Corradine Harry MacLean Roy Sizemore Phil Bass and Brian Leonard were brought in after 1 meeting 6 May saw Jim Wells debut and Mid August Colin Meredith joined and Pip Lamb also made a couple of appearances 1977 saw a team of Martin Yeates Kevin Young Phil Bass Mick Handley Brian Leonard Colin Meredith Roy Sizemore Gerald Smitherman Greg Joynt debuted in July along with Richie Caulwell. Malcolm Hollway debuted on 11 August In 1978 the team was Colin Meredith Mick Handley Pip Lamb Carl Askew Les Sawyer Brian Leonard David Shields joined early in the season. George Hunter joined in April. John Hack was in the team by May. 6 July saw the debut of James Moore Hope that helps a bit

Can you provide a link to these pictures? I can't see any photos of those teams on the entry for Oxford Cheetahs, which certainly needs to be expanded, I've not looked into how you go about doing it...
