Ivan Jujnovich bought it from Evan Watson.
Evan had it as his tow car for Ford Prefect, Holden Kingswood V8 ,
Also for his wife to sleep in when Evan was still drinking.

Cool looking '39 Ford Deluxe coupe of Robin Tanner. Tanner was a regular in circuit racing too, competing in various cars, including the ex-Rod Coppins '69 Firebird. The '39 is a great looking car, featuring both a roof chop and channeling.

This is the Mustang coupe pictured a few posts back, racing across the finish line. Anyone know who this is? Can't have been too many Mustangs in NZ at the time.

Tanner again, versus Dave McDougall. For whatever reason, Tanner is running the '39 without the one-piece front. But this shot captures the nicely exposed small clock Chevy. Note the cool cross-over inlet manifold. I wonder if this came of a circuit racer? Red Dawsons Kensington Carpets ran one of these, so too did the Cambridge Monaro, I think?

Yep,you are right Steve.
Grady bought a cross over set from Sylvesters early 1970.
Sold them about June 1970
Thanks John. Well thats very interesting! I know those things were extremely rare in NZ at the time. When Dawson fitted a cross-over to his Camaro during the 1972 season, Motorman magazine at the time felt the need to make comment on it. It was a big deal.
They were rare then and rarer now.
Point to note that these Webers were made in Italy .
Webers for a while now have stamped on them- Made in Spain.
Think about it when you are doing a period restoration- I had to tell guy that his car wasnt an authentic replica with that stamping on it.
Thanks John, great info.
Max Turner's 'Purple Haze' T Bucket. Looks like this race is being flagged green. Lights must have stopped working.

This one makes me nervous! Ford flathead V8 powered 3-seater trike. Looks like a disaster waiting to happen. Rider is game! Is he wearing jandals?

"Weber" carbs are now also available ex China! The word 'copyright' to the Chinese seems to mean the right to copy.
