The car was found in bits some years after Lawrence ownership and put back together by Tony Herbert. 1n 1986 David Sharp bought the car engaging Peter Bruin and Geoff Manning to meticulously restore...

Yes it was very well done, so much more interesting than trying to cover the racing, anyone can do that. It was about the Ford personalities and the various unusual and interesting cars. Easily...

Don't need a programme, I was a member of every organising committee,. Chairman for one year and co-commentator for all meetings. Take it from me, there were never any motorcycle races. Once we had...

Sorry, no bikes ever raced during Queenstown Street Races

My first time at this amazing event. As Autosport magazine says, it has grown to transcend pure motorsport it is simply huge.
The many thousands who attended each day and probably never saw a race...

When Lou Kingsley raced at Teretonga that summer he was put up against a young man called Barry Keen who drove a Triumph Herald coupe. The local newspaper gave great credence to the oldest versus...

We all grew up enjoying monthly movie nights at our local car clubrooms watching films like the Shell Motor Racing Series, entitled "The History of Motor Racing"
I have a set of 6 x 16mm films in...

Guy in the hat crouched on the LH side is Hank Rossiter, pretty well known around Christchurch in the day. He was a great help to LRAB during those years and was a fairly handy spanner man to a good...

JacMac is right, it's former MANZ Chief Steward John H Reid. Back in the day he was a racer in the BCM Special and a very fast 1650 Anglia. Looks like AJ McCully on the RH side.

This is a long running naming story with Allan (AJ) McCully. The tub was a spare FM5 one sold to AJ by George. It is probably fair to say they did not send each other Christmas cards. The car was...

Yes AC560 was a good old thing, don't suppose you would have any pics of her? Yes we are back in Queenstown,

Hey BP*it might be a long time ago but don't they turn back the clock? I can see you now perched around Teretonga creating these masterpieces, thanks so much for letting us re live it again. Trust...

Having grown up in the deep South watching Bill at work and enjoying his images then, it's even better the second time around. Great news he is recognised by an illustrious magazine such as...

A lot of detail was probably missed in the book but CAA tried to get thing to work better. Dave McKinney would not have missed things!

I always like to think they were all good friends in that era. Certainly the Tasman Series saw the current F1 drivers*at their most relaxed enjoying the four weeks in NZ and Australia. The Amon home...

I remember now, it was 1970 with Derek Bell and it was Tom Wheatcroft as the entrant but the car was a*BT26, the Cosworth blew up, so DNF for Derek.

Oh dear me!

THAT is cool! Where do I get mine?

Did I say Tom Wheatcroft????? Of course it should have been Frank Williams!

Piers Courage came to Teretonga in the works BRM P261 V8 in 1967 but spun away his chances at Castrol Bend. He re-appeared in 1968 driving the Saccones Gin liveried McLaren M4A impressing the hell...

You could try calling Dennis. He lives at Pisa Moorings Cromwell Ph:03-4453030

Superb shot from Bill. The 49T without the stupid high rear wing was one of the best lookers, Rindt was also one of the best we ever saw, great driver taken far too soon.

Interesting isn't how F5000 brought us people we had never heard of before or much afterwards. This guy was one of those.

Such a smooth operator I think we underrated him at the time, went on to a wonderfully long career in sports cars.
I was lucky to operate with Bill in those great years at Teretonga, he is just a...

I think BJ Crosbie resides in Christchurch son Shane is still around Teretonga, saw him at Evolution Motorsport Classic meeting.
