One for sale in latest petrolhead- up Nelson way, ex racer built by Parmenter I think. Cheap at $1800.

When I rang him a couple of months back it had been sold the day before.

That was an absolute steal that car, had history, everything.

Even if he really knew nothing about it!

Regards post#38. Steve that was a well used HO when Norris got it. He also had a left hand drive German 3ltr Capri it was white with green down side, he raced a couple of times in the GTX class and then had Rod Millen drive it, and he sure shocked a few. Remember at Wigram 2 wheeling it everwhere at high speed. Not sure but Rod may have won class that year. Any one got photos of this car.

Rod- give me some dates and I will check my mags.

[BMCBOY]

BMCBOY- man, those are big tyres on the back of the Fiat dicing with the Charger.

Yes it seemed to be a bit of a handful!



A couple more A40 photos - if I remember rightly a couple of these had Ford engines

Think the above photo is a very young George Shewiery at club circuit in his XTGT?

[Allan]

Can anyone put a name to the FIAT 125 driver?

A late 70s photo I took at Amaroo Park - always a full program and a good day of racing back then.

What became of that Capri?

[John McKechnie]

That does not look a very user friendly piece of wood sticking up out of the corner. Definitely stop kerb jumping

Oh wow, really cool! Is this a class B/C/D Group C race?

Wow Allan, these are magic!

That would have been one of the under 3 litre races at Amaroo. There was a series held at Amaroo for under 3 litre cars. Barry Seton and the late Peter Hopwood off the front row.

Here is some photos taken while I was doing Flag Marshall duties at Pukeohe in the 70's

I was in the pits also when Geoff had that little mishap. I knew Geoff well and I had worked on that car. There is a photo around somewhere of the car standing on it's nose just before it went over on it's roof. I wish I could find that photo.
