Picture from Trevor Benton..
Attachment 37375
Trevor also wrote this " The Souness coupe when imported new had a 4 cylinder engine later converted to flathead power & when raced a 283 ci [genuine] Corvette was fitted. It was one of the very early possibly the earliest coupe to have ohv V8 power & raced on NZ circuits. As you can see by the attachment which was taken about 3 years ago its had a hard life & from Garth Souness it went through several hands in Auckland & was turned into a hot rod at one point. The present owner in Sth Auckland has most of the sheet metal much of it in poor condition especially the doors but no running gear & the intention is to restore it as it was when raced with a 283 ci Chev resembling a Corvette. A lot of these restorations are started & never finished but hopefully this will be an exception as it was very unique in its day. "

Pukekohe - The Fleetwood Mustang
It appears that Steve Twist and myself were at the meetings when the Segedin / Fleetwood Mustang ran although my shot of it on the trailer shows it without the grille and other chrome, maybe it was at the end of the days racing ??.
