Yards And Yarns

[Roger Dowding]

As I was the one who mentioned a couple of typos, I must apologize that it has become such an issue, and it was not apostrophes (yes they do bug me but I don't bring it up). I loved the articles and all I commented was that it was such a set of great articles that corrected it would be even better.
As the topic has gone pretty much off topic, and my love is NZ specials, perhaps the few really neat posts relating to them could be moved? Steve?
I would love to know where Roger's special now is!

Oldfart, we meet again, the BSA Special, yes I would love to know, where it and the owner are - he may still have it. It was never mine but did drive it often, including at a Sprint meeting on the main Pukekohe circuit once as well as in Gymkhana's and on the road.
Here is a photo with Lyle Chambers driving and his best mate Richard Leaper [ Flying Officer J R Leaper as was in the RNZAF at one time ], the car is pulling into the driveway at my house in mid 1970's probably around 1976.



I have more of these small photo's, hopefully someone may recognise the car and the owner..

Have found some more ; these taken in 1981 from memory, after an event.

And another, Note that the headlights get moved from the Grille to between the grille and the guards.
Getting ready for an event, [ think the VCC event mentioned below ] Lyle Chambers driving, myself as passenger, Richard Leapers Triumph 2500 behind.


this last photo was at a Vintage Car Club event about 1980.
