Thanks Terry & Steve for finding the photos, and yes quite a few Kiwis were involved with the teams from the era. Fairly unusual for mechanics to be given recognition that way. Just another one of...

Relating to Horst Kwech Mustang, I have a shot somewhere of Horst and Shelby leaning on the side of the '69 blue Shelby stang with a stylized "Kiwi " on the driver's door. Can anyone explain the...

As a kid just starting to notice ‘ hotted up cars ‘ a couple of locals lads had farina’s that ran at club events at Puke. One was 6 cylinder Triumph 2000 powered and the other 1600 pushrod. Heard...
