Puke practice 1963 or 1964?
This one I think was from a Kerepehi near the current milk factory a straight sprint about 1962-63 or so. Would the name Cranch sound right? does anyone know?

This one is from a Hill climb at Bombay. Didn't see the driver..Morrie Smith perhaps just a wild guess? just not sure about 1961-1962 I think? He flew into the corner but disappeared out of sight behind a hill!! I should have checked that the driver was not underneath it! Its not Chamberlin Rd.

Ivan Cranch had Maserati 6CM around this time. Had a Jaguar 3.4 motor which Jim Boyd drove occasionally [from the G Vercoe book]Originally Posted by John H
This (post #3) looks like the A40 Special (which I now have). Around 1961/62 it was owned by Keith Smith who had it both before and after Chris Amon owned it.
On this occasion the Vercoe book is pretty close!
What is happening to my previous posts about this? Gone!
Here's a picture of the car in happier times.
I gather it is Graham Harvey at an Ivan Whale's Quarry hillclimb - off Panama Rd Mount Wellington. I am not sure where I downloaded or scanned this picture from (2 or 3 years ago), but it just occurs to me now that Roger H might know! If I'm trespassing on someones copyright I humbly apologise.
Would the other photo be at the top corner at Chamberlain Road?
Stu Buchanan
Bill Stone returning back down the hill at the same hill climb. Get the grin!!
I have no idea. I guess some one will know who this is?
Furndale Road. Maramarua. Local driver Barry Thompson Singer? Humber 80 1962 1963
Auckland Car Club April 1964. I have the whole program if any one wants more info.
#10 looks like a Singer Gazelle IIIA
I think this is Spinner Black at the same Kerepahi sprint. Thanks a lot for your help Steve. Great site you have. So no one knows who the Morris Minor at the Bombay hill climb?

I guess the reason readers don't know who these cars are is that the drivers are all on the wrong side of the grass now?
