Car is still with current custodian in canterbury., its going to have issues with front flares/tire contact unless they leave it at that height. Original had them mounted about 2" higher, was...
Peter Woods also bought a Shelby like this as an insurance write off that had a bit of a front end prang- nothing major, but the Shelby factor was too hard for the insurance company to overcome at...
Cars, Tires, or Driver, or all three?:)
Plug and Play, sponsorship from the respective electricity suppliers, might remove the need to hit car club members in the pocket again to keep the motor sport coffers topped up.
In that case why not, there is no attached mention of skin colour or race. Having said that Im sure there is a PC addict ferreted away somewhere in NZ who would make it their purpose in life to have...
It was Kelvin Cameron, IIRC ( and like you Paul I get a bit of delay in the memory now n again :) ).Wish I still had all the old OSCA newsletters, its probably in them. Would not have been from a...
Might be a few hours yet before the ex Nazer car arrives, given that it just passed my road gate about 1/2 hour ago!
When I worked at Charlton Auto Woody was importing full face helmets from ~1973 onwards. xtra, Gurney had one at 1968 Indy 500, Google suggests first made in 1967.
Just needs to be adjusted nose down a big bit!
Yes, I believe so, in the sweeper coming onto main straight at [old] Ruapuna. There is a multi frame pic of the accident elsewhere ( might have been you who posted it?) Pete wrote about the car on...
Pete, how many OSCA cars have you had/owned over time.. The McCoomb/Hargreaves V8 Mk1 Cortina, Triumph, Nazer Escort, Hazard RX3, Im sure there were/are others.
So Pete, did the ex Nazer/Cossack car never have the Cal Fried Chicken paint job on it? I see Kevin Ryan has commented on a FB thread for HMC and mentioned that it won class B a couple of times so...
Newspaper/ Motoraction? clipping of OSCA champ final round at Timaru. Car is at front of pic, was predominately white with red/blue? secondary strips etc. This is the ex Nazer car, Kevin also had a...
This car had a lot of success during its OSCA life in the hands of Kevin Ryan/Californian Fried Chicken colours.
Last of the ISO's had 351c.
Yes, current owner posted on GT40's a while back looking for info to rebuild transaxle, from his pics I was hopefully able to point him in right directions, never came back to let us know if he had...
Couple or three of those floating round here somewhere, Rover 3500 might be better, taller ratio. Most MKIV's were 3.7/3.9. If you want a full transaxle assy Porsche 924/928 or the small Volvo sedan...
If your talking about the pics from the 'Ian Peak' collection IIRC these went thru conversion from slides to disc etc.... its a long time ago but I think we occasionally commented on some...
Sean, I think Ray was refering to the post 1389 by John H & 1390 by Dale in regard to thread relevance?
In Milan's programm post Rod McElrea is listed as driver in Mustang #104.
GT40 1078.....
Somewhere around 84/86 should be right, Im going by the ex Fahey, Riley, Armstrong, McElrea Mustang which had been restored back to Fahey condition before it was sold on to Bowdens in OZ.
Thats a Ford FE in the bike, could be anything from 332 cu in upwards, wouldnt want it lying on top of you after a prang, or have to lift it back up! probably scratch built 2x4bbl tunnel ram and...
Found these earlier pics of the Dawson car. Note no hood scoop, smaller or original rear wheel archs and what looks like the Firestone cantilever tires on rear.
Yes, I questioned the 2 litre swap at the time, lot of work, new exh to opposite side, rack, x-member, tunnel mods to clear, but hey, its the owners car & his $$$.( No, I did not fit it. ) Im not...
Done an awful lot of racing since then,yet another car that could be restored in any of its previous forms, but I suppose if it is still the original shell then any of the Nazer versions would be...
