There was also Whangarei after that. Also meetings in Hamilton in the 70s. Of course also the Hamilton rounds of the V8 series.
Was it really a Nationwide ban?
I know for fact that it wasn't a ban...
At over £10k a piece!
Those pedal cars (J40) are very sought after, and very, very stupid money.
Ray, have you received my email?
It went on for several years, the Northland Special competed there under many of its' names and drivers.
The top photo I think looks like Puhi puhi which is actually North of Whangarei, a bit beyond Whakapara where the road to Russell branches off.
Jim Boyd did have the use of both of the Mk 6 cars in...
Some of the Talbot-Lago pics will be useful when I get around to building my 1/24 SMER kit (was Merit) - hopefully with decent wire wheels and tyres, not the plastic ones as supplied.
That may be...

That helmet in post 4203 I would hazard a guess as Duncan Pittaway.
Max is one of the long term staff members at Resolute/Gittreville in Seattle.
Des Wild and the RA111 Greg, if you message me an email I can send them. They are too big for this site, but badly lose clarity when reduced.
Thanks to Kelvin Brown who has sent me an article from when the car was near new. It's an extract from "Modern Motoring" and exceptionally helpful for information on the original build, and dispels a...

Thanks Milan, that is a help with having some dates when it's known to have the Lycoming.
I have just gone back and read the Vercoe piece. As can be seen there are several inaccuracies. This car...
Ken, I have messaged you.
