Steve- Melissa received the entries and just sent me the list
Regards Jacks statement,- Then what was the Lotus Anglia & Cortina and Cossack Escort, wish I could train in them until a 'real racing car' came along.
The Jack Nazer Cossack Victor was a very famous NZ allcomers car and it is magic that it still exists in basically the same form as it finished its first life. It will be a great day when this car hits the track again. Craig said that he was making progress with the car so it is has not been pushed into a corner and forgotten. I think that the engine either has been overhauled or is in progress.
Loved Jack's Cossack FVA Escort - a great little car that still exists too. Is based in the lower South Island
Dont the flares look so diminuitive now in comparison to what we have been seeing in the last 10 or so years.

This would be one of the earliest pics of the car-December 1979.
Ian standing at drivers door, Barry on the ground and Dave at passenger A pillar.
All this at the family home on a hot summers day.

This is the cars first run at Puke-October 1984.
Looking at it, it could just be a test day, dont see any other cars, activity or flaggies.
Nowadays I dont think you would even be allowed here..
As its an early pic, it has the simple flares at the back.

Wow John, wonderful photos!!! Do you know the dates?
The rear flares are not the box style like every other picture I've ever seen on the car, so I guess this was the way the car was originally built, and the box flares were fitted later. Was the radiator in the back originally or only after the box flares were fitted?
JAFA- have now updated these pics with details , months and years.
Will check about radiator.
Next pair of pics will be the Alfetta from Dec 1979, same location at the family home.

Big day out- going for a run at Puke- yay!!!!!!!!!
April 1980.
Period correct first appearance pic for the rivet counters.
Great photos John......I am not counting the rivets today. Cheers
Bruce- isnt it neat when someone- usually the Dad- can find time to capture the moment.
I am sure the boys had more important things to do than take these.
This is also an invitation to anyone else to dig out any pics sitting around as the bonus is that in the 70s colour arrived.
