Just a quick heads up, both Paul Fahey and Dennis Marwwod will be at the Festival most days, i will have them in one of the HMC Marques for public signing and general chatting about there motor racing exploits!! This was such a huge success last year with Paul that he was happy to come back again, so bring your camera and anything you want signed!!
PS: anyone have pics from last year to post!!

Paul at the Amon Festival - I believe that he really enjoyed himself and we'll look forward to meeting him again this year.

As on other thread. Awsome photo.
That is one for the Autograph.
Make a good backdrop for them when they are on board.
Note little love tap on right front guard of Escort, i think Coppins was the reciever.
As per the HMC thread, A3 posters of Fahey and Marwood will be available at the NZFMR at the HMC pit area, where both of these guys will be on hand to sign them.

Fantastic Steve - will you be holding some back for the 2nd weekend?
One for the collection and worth framing once signed.
Nigel, you'll need to contact Dale about those. He is organising printing.
As well as the Fahey/Marwood posters, Dennis also has his own poster, featuring his Trans-Am Camaro.

And for those who didn't pick up a Fahey poster last year, I believe some of these are still available?

What was Pauls history car dealer , mechanic, ?
Car dealer.
Paul had a Mazda (?) dealership in St. Heliers for a long time.
P&R Motors with Ralph Emmson in Takanini/Papakura for years, then from the mid seventies in Otahuhu, then St Heliers.
Paul and Dennis are the same age i believe, 78!!! its great to have these 2 guys still enthused in motor sport.

So he was not selling Fords ? back then
Paul Fahey came into car racing via motor-cycle racing. Unless I'm very much mistaken, he had raced on the Isle of Man (like George Begg) ; he is listed as an entry in one of the Bike races at the 1958 Ardmore GP meeting riding an AJS 7R.

You got any pictures Steve?

Awesome! A good portion of NZs late 60s/early 70s muscle car racers (JR, Fahey, Marwood) will all be together in the one place at Hampton Downs! JR posters will be available, and I'd like to say thanks to Terry Marshall for again supplying his superb photos. The Sidchrome Mustang never looked better than it did in its championship winning season.
