Late last year I created a fascinating thread here containing the photos of New Zealand motorsport enthusiast and journalist Gerard Richards. The majority of pics included in the thread were taken by Gerard himself, but right at the end included a small number of additional photos he'd collected from other photographers, such as Jack Inwood.
Part 2 of Gerard's collection is largely made up of photos he has either purchased over the years, or been gifted by other enthusiasts, and include more from Jack Inwood, along with John Miller (of Renault Dauphine Corvette fame), and Martin Bearda.
I've not seen most of these photos before, so am really excited Gerard has allowed me to share them here. So many of these old collections have been destroyed over the years, as owners think they'll be of little interest to future generations, so its important we grasp the opportunity to share those that do exist when we can. As Gerard told me, "Martin Bearda's elder brother Gerrit was more well known as a photographer, though when I tried to contact him a few years ago, trying to get pictures to illustrate the Spinner Black story (for NZ Classic Car mag), he told be his whole archive had been destroyed. So as ever I think its always good to ensure pictures get made available".
Hope you enjoy them folks.
