AHCCNZ Classic Hillclimb Otaua, 1980's pics
posted on my AHCC thread a couple of Bucklers at Otaua.
Taken from the same spot but looking at the background different years, this was from a Marshall point near the the top of the hill, there was a farmers drive way that I would park my Healey, and then stand back from the sweeping curve to watch and advise the start and finish guys as the cars went past, or when they didn't a Jag actually finished up against that power pole one year, there was a haybale there to soften the effect !!

Posted Ross's pictures on another thread, but the three Buckler photo's from Taupo in 1990 belong here, as does Ross Hollings Humber 80 Special, which looks like a Buckler, Ross sold the car and it went overseas, and now believed to be in Queensland.
The group at Taupo, some well known cars !!. have details of whose cars they were, must look it up and add to the post..
Kelvin Brown, who wrote the book on Bucklers in NZ advises as follows " Group picture at Taupo Nov 91 ? Brayshaw DD2 red, Sutcliffe DD1 white, Stephens ? DD2 blue, Munns Mk.90 red, Main Mk.5/6 blue " hope that is of help..
