    These 2 photos are dated October 1976, at Pukekohe.

    We think this is Robbie Lester with a Formula Vee.

    These are at Pukuekohe, on the Friday practice for the Benson and Hedges race. Don't know what year, but very early '80's at a guess.

    This Falcon, off the number plate, is / was registered as a 1979 Ford Fairmont, cream, 4900cc, with a last known milage of 133,439 on the 4th of April 1998. So one would imagine it no longer exists, or is a permanent racer and hence not registered anymore.

    Do the non-conforming red background and the tow bar suggest this might be a spectator's/sponsor's road car?
