    Time for Part 2 of the Garry Simkin Collection. I've split Garrys entire collection of historic New Zealand motorsport photos into 3 parts, so will run the final part in the coming weeks. Part 1 was a huge hit, I reckon Part 2 will be just as popular.

    As always, I'll try and ID as many cars and drivers as I can, but always appreciate any help for those on here more knowledgeable than me, which is most of you!

    I think almost all of the pics shown here will be from the 1970 and 1971 seasons, and are shown at Pukekohe and Levin.

    So anyway, enjoy!

    The rest of the collection can be viewed here > >

    We have Mike Feisst (kiwi285) to thank for these photos appearing here. Garry Simkin, like so many keen young race goers, wasn’t a professional photographer. ...
