Being a former Mallock owner I am very interested in the Badger special which has an uncanny resemblance to a Mk 6 Mallock.I recall a similar car in the NZ Sports Car club in the early years. Does...
Still have that little alloy leather covered seat believed to have come from the sports car body. Don't know what to do with it but it remains my part of that fantastic cars history. Graeme Banks

Re Post #82 and #84 Having owned a few Fiat 500s over the years, including the Abarth one that I still have, I decided to track down the Willls 6 hr Fiat 500. A registration check showed its last...
Ray,
Enjoyed your photo of the Austin Sevens and MGs at the Chelsea Hill Climb. Austin BL5577 is a factory Austin Nippy. I bought it in 1964 as my first car and sold it four years later. Many...
Great to see those photos of Greg Lancaster and Tony Kriletich with Greg's Victor. In the Mid 1960s I worked with both Tony and Greg in a Government Department. Many of the staff had Kriletich...
Ray the Magnette wasn't cheap but its being enjoyed by its new owner (geebeenz) who may yet put it around Hampton Downs.

Sad to report that Ivan Cranch passed away yesterday. Ivan raced a 6CM Maserati in the 1960s and was also remembered for his Jaguar powered Ford Consul. I only knew Ivan in his later years when he...

For those of you who don't know what a Daihatsu 360 is. 26 Years ago I bought my 16 year old son one. I took him to a Fiat Club Gymkhana and he beat me. Such gratitude
Dale thanks for bringing that up.
Stuart was my second cousin. Although he was only three years younger than me his father was my cousin. In 2013 a friend of mine said he was going to do an...
Perhaps one of our historians with 1970s NZIGP programs could help. The 72 GP was held on 8/1/72 a Saturday and the 75 GP was held on 12/1/75 a Sunday. I have a date of 9/1/73 for the 73 GP but that...
I don't know how we got from this fantastic Willys tribute car to Renault 750s but amongst my old Hot rod mags is a picture of Johns VW powered 750. I believe it did mid 16s at MereMere which is not...
Like some of the other postings on here my cousin and I wrote to various car companies when we were at school. I remember my cousin getting a big parcel of brochures from Rolls Royce. I was a bit...

When I bought my Mallock Sports car from Ron it had a nicely upholstered very small alloy seat in it. I asked Ron what the seat was out of. He said it came from the Ferrari and was the...
Thanks for the link Ray. I stayed up and watched the St Marys Trophy for pre 1960s saloons. If only we could get racing like that here with such a variety of cars. Last night was the guest drivers....
John it was great to see you and a few other V8s out there today amongst our 60 2K Cup cars and those very quick Motul Hondas.
John That sounds great. Even if the cars aren't 100% authentic (Custaxie 2) I am sure the public will still love them.
Do you mean 246
When you read the history on the McLaren trust website you may understand some of the questions above. It was of course written off and then a lot of parts were cobbled together to make a show car....
