Another event - 1979 the Clubs AHCCNZ Morgan and a few Reliants get together
AHCCNZ and Morgan Club had a visit to the great sheds at Ron Roycrofts property at Glen Murray.
A good group gathered and inspected the sheds, chatted with Ron and in the afternoon Ron and a few VCC guys had an impromptu Hill Climb.
Have posted photos before of the event - especially the Hill Climb, where Ron ran off the road in the RJR Special.
A group of photos by mate Ross Cammick have resurfaced on OLD NZ Motor Racing.
a couple I had seen before but some are new.
Grouping them all here, in view of the AH Club contingent, of which I was there with my Mate and later Flatmate Lyle Chambers, in the Mark 3 Sprite that had a recent engine rebuild=d with modifications a 649 camshaft - Cooper type modified cylinder head - ported and polished, the engine balanced [ pistons ] and was running a downdraft 40 DCD Weber carb and manifold, the carb a loan from Lyle's good mate Richard Leaper, it was off one of his Sunbeam cars from memory an Alpine.
