    Hi Folks

    Here is a Mid Eighties photo many may have not seen.

    It is from Ohakea, which used to run fairly regularly then for the classics.

    Braking at the end of the intermediate straight after the main runway.

    That is my(Kevin Gill) Daimler Dart powered Spitfire, John Fendall's TR6 and Bernie Huynen's Valiant powered Healey.

    Those were the days!

    If anyone else has photos of any of these cars from the time, or more importantly any videos I would be grateful if you could get in touch.

    Many cheers
    Kevin

    Bardahl Series Hillclimb, 1979/80, Bald Hill - run by MG Car Club, myself in the TR4A that did the whole series, almost without incident.
    - photo, my own collection, photographer unknown was given to me at the next hillclimb.

    Here's a photo of Bernie Huynen in the Valiant Healey at a Otaua Hillclimb
    The car has since had a V8 installed, but due to compliance problems it will have a 'sloper' engine refitted.
    The car is now up in Northland with its new owner.
