Sorry one year out, 1982 Collingwood 1983 Monaghan
Was the original rego KW1188? That car Rod Collingwood ran in 1983 was sold to Pat Monaghan in Southland and he ran it in 1984. Pat and Trevor Crowe finished second at Puke in 1984, PM me if you...

This photo is Jim Palmer from Nelson?...
Yeah AMC mag said Moffat car was handicapped by the GTX rules, but I don't see it as a handicap if all the other cars have the same rules IMO its a level playing field
Can't help with images of Moffat but the way I understand it was that Ford wasn't happy with the Chargers domination in NZ so they sent their best car and driver to Wigram because there was some...
I was going to ask if you went with the boys to Bathurst in 73 but I guess you were too young! That one is sunfire yellow colour, Leo's one in the earlier pic is mustard. Was there another E49 that...
Sorry Grant, the E49 in the pic is the first one that Leo ran in NZ from Sept 72, rego GF2018 its the car that held the lap record for every track in NZ and as spinner32 said it has been with the...
No it never ran at Bathurst, It is the third of 3 E38s ordered by Todd Motors to run as "Todd Team" The first 2 E38s went to Leo Leonard and Graeme Lawrence, Rod's one was delayed at the factory and...
Interesting story Brad, so I take it Tony Paul is no longer with us? Where was he based?
The caption for that pic reads "Carburettor adjustments occupied Norm Beechey and helper before the Monaro's Pukekohe win" I don't know what Monaro he had at Puke in 1971? but I have only seen the...

Just stumbled on this photo in Shell book, Tasman Series, NZ Motor Racing 1971. Norm Beechy working on the carburetors, so what happened to the webers?
The yellow car was a Mitsubishi Starion Group A car, used for South Island Endurance series
The black Charger of Jim Little was build for SIPS when his Mustard Charger was deemed too old by the...
Yes Lindsay your pics are fantastic, got me thinking now what happened to Steve Vigurs Celeste? And is that a young Tony Marsh standing at the drivers door of the red RX7 (car #2)?
Any photos from Wigram are great Lindsay!
Does John Osborne's RX7 still exist, I remember him having a big one at Puke and I can't remember seeing the car since. Was that the end of the car or did...
That's great so did it do any more events after 1987 Wellington?
Nice to know that the Sleepyhead cars are still alive as well, were they built in NZ or Aust?
Sometime in the early 90's I rang a guy in the lower north island who had a Skyline Dr30 advertised, he told me the car had a white bootlid on it from the racecar that was written off. I might be...
Thanks for the update Steve. I thought the Cuda that Woody is building for ATA was cool but this one is something else!
Any updates on this monster?
