Old Programmes, movies and memories from the Fifties, Sixties and Seventies.

1961 New Zealand Grand Prix at Ardmore.
The driver lineup could not get any better. We were very fortunate back then to see such a great field.
I think we just took it for granted that it would always be like this.
Note in the movie how well all the drivers got along with each other. Even John Cooper is having fun !
( I know this has been shown before but what beach area are they at ?)
(Also note Bruce McLaren is listed as from Great Britain. This was because he was to be an international driver and could not win the First New Zealander home prize again ! )





A wonderful movie of the 1961 NZGP plus Dunedin road races. (Note the crowd size !)
