He raced a PB Vauxhall which he raced from 1994-2006 before buying an XP falcon of Dave Mitchell.
Also last time I heard Lindsay had the car.

Yes i do Paul but it hasn't gone since I blew the motor at Levels in probably 1990 or maybe 91.I had just bought a farm and deciced to get on my feet with the farm before I went back racing.There were a few interested in buying it at the time and in hindsight I should have sold it as I never did get back into it.Quote:

And the Chev could have been Jon Palmer or Paul Roffey as they were in partnersip with the car and one year one would do the normal races and the other would do the reverse grid races and the next year vise versa

Love the 28D Austin! Fair bit of internal scaffolding there. Great pics.
I haven't watched pre 65's for ages but a great class.
Morris actually ERC..........the ex Fogg yellow peril still going for it!!!!!!
And look at the variety........great stuff, great racing.
Yes, great class Gerald and still going strong after what! 30 years? isn't it!! a few mates racing in pre 65 tried to push me into years ago but I didn't like the way the cars where "chopped up" and weren't more than basic body shells, still I do like they way they've keep control of the period look. Probably my all time favourite old car class in NZ.

I quite enjoy watching the Pre 65's racing nowadays... this is a shot I got at Puke, I think it exemplifies the racing nicely:

Is this the car Gerald ?? Saw Angus race it at Puke a few years ago now and he was passing cars around the outside over Mobil onto the pit straight. He told me that it was a great car to have some fun in.

Thats it kiwi285. Hope it has gone to a good home!!!! Despite its looks it was really quite a sophisticated race car. It damn well should have been for what it cost John Lamont to build, but as he said he didn't want 'just another bloody Anglia'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LoL.
