1966 New Zealand Saloon Car Championship
Having met for the first time 1966 NZ Saloon Car Champion Dave Simpson on the weekend, I'm keen to write a story for Classic Driver magazine on the Anglia he raced to the championship that season. Although I have the Shell annual for 1966, I'm thin on the ground for Motorman etc magazines. Does anyone here have magazines featuring coverage of the 1966 championship races? There were seven rounds at Renwick, Pukekohe, Pukekohe, Levin, Wigram, Teretonga, Waimate.

Steve, Graham Woods probably has some of the programmes, Motormans and not sure if Autonews had started . I gave mine away Programmes and Motorman Mags to different people.. I do have a few photos of the Anglia .. which are on my Pukekohe Thread, but can put them into a set for you if you wish.
PS when is the " NZ Specials Book " out ?? - last note you said with the publishers [ the decision on timing ].. must save a few sheckels to get it ..
I do have the 1966 and 1967 Motorsport Yearbook / Annuals - which will have some info especially on the series I would think - away from home base at the moment ..

There is also a 30 Years of Grand Prix Racing about Ardmore and Pukekohe - could be some stuff in there too, as from memory has a bit on other classes of racing !!.

Those books were expensive in the day $3.00 in 1983 .. 5/- then 50 cents for the 1966 - 1967 ones ..
Well was only on about 8 Pound a week when I started work in January 1966 - and Mum took Two Pound for board ..put half of it towards my first car .. compulsory saving scheme-Family Style .. !!
