I have just joined this site. Very impressed the way some of you can remember the older race cars.
I recently purchased Terrapin Chassis number 71 from Southland and in the process of trying to bring it home.
I raced stock cars in the sixties at Kaiapoi and Woodford Glen, then pulled back to being an observer at places like Wigram and Ruapuna. About ten years ago I bought a 67 Camaro racecar. I quickly realised this was a hole in the ground which had an amazing capability of devouring money, which I couldn't afford. Only raced it once (at Taupo).
So now, at 64, I have decided hillclimbs etc are more in line with my capabilities. Having planned to build a Terrapin, obtaining the plans etc, I was pleased to find one which the owner was happy to let go. Looking forward to it.
