Found these a little while ago as well so my question some time ago about when it came to NZ has been answered :)

... and from Motoraction 14 November 1975...

Awesome thanks.

My shell has some extra strengthening in a couple of areas. Across the top of the windscreen inner panels front and rear (the front has the interior light fitted in it) have both...

Well I haven't got much further actually Steve as I'm waiting to get a shed up at home so I have somewhere to do the work. Nearly there finally.

I did manage to get my hands on the original...

To be honest I don't really know and I don't know if he knew what he was talking about either. I guess it had something to do with strengthening the shell as it was a time before roll cages of...

Yes definitely awesome. Thanks for posting them Ross. I've sent you a PM

All good. No not much progress but have a few more parts. Too many projects that I need to clear out of the way first including a new shed to do it. It's the one I want to complete most but is the...

nah not my car. I replied on the other thread as well.

Can't be my car as it is RHD with RHD wipers. My car he never had RHD wipers fitted. There are other differences also by that's the most obvious.

I expect you are right Les now I've seen this photo. It's probably the best quality colour one I've seen from its time in NZ. Amature photos from this era all seem to brown up somewhat as per the...

Awesome thanks Steve. Interesting it appears yellow here when I thought it was orange. It may be the photo or it may be another colour scheme.

Yep a couple from Warwick Clayton thanks.

Very slow unfortunately Steve apart from sourcing the occasional part. Been putting a bit of effort in the last few months into reshelling my Mk2 that I rolled at a hillclimb when I completely ran...

Yep Dale the tickets weren't cheap for sure. I definitely wanted to go but wasn't planning on going due to the cost but ended up with three days there crewing (did virtually nothing) on the Vantage...

Personally I quite like the look of the S4 although I am more than unlikely to ever own one as I have a sickness for Escorts, Mk1's in particular! I do remember being taken for a ride in a brand new...

The movies shown on the weekend were all of Rowan Morgans 8mm and super 8 that he had digitized and put onto a DVD. Rowan said he thought the first event on it was the first ever hillclimb that PCC...

I've PM'd you with the guys name. I destroyed my Mk2 Escort around the next corner 2 years ago. I just ran out of talent unfortunately, slid into a ditch, tore the wheels off the LHS and flipped it...

Yep I'll post some pictures when I get some. I didn't take any myself but we had some semi official photographers there taking plenty of snaps. It was a great weekend for sure.

Steve Millen won...

Slightly off your topic and Im sure Bob Homewood will have something to say about this but it seems to me the best way to make your classic run cooler is to run it on E85. In fact from what Bob told...

Personally I think you can blame health and safety issues for some of that. You can only watch from designated areas and there is no way you can chase the lead cars from stage to stage as we used to...

Awesome Murray and thanks for posting the links. I was another one who was at helicopter corner that day.

Yep definitely worth a read!

PCC is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a reunion in March this year. If you are a past member or know of someone who was, please pass this on and come along. Obviously this wont relate to...

Steve you're a star. Can you put me in touch with Warwick Clayton please?

I’m not sure what you’re perturbed about. To the best of my knowledge Paul Fahey wanted to buy XOO 347F from Alan Mann Racing or Ford whatever the case may be but they wouldn’t sell it to him. He was...

You're going to have to point them out to me Rod!
