I will ask Graham McRae tomorrow morning about the HWM. Graham will remember it racing at Levin as Graham was in the same races that day. 1963.

Now i stand corrected here,but,i always remember it being called the HWM Corvette,remember it in the 60/70's racing at Puke,to say the least then it had so to speak a "golf ball' finish to it.Went alright though,cannot remember drivers name sorry.Probably put it on the grid a few times when i was a grid marshal.
It was known as the HWM-Cadillac when the Avery Brothers imported it. It later used a variety of engines including a Continental aircraft engine, and both Ford and Chevrolet V8s. It was entered as the HWM-Thunderbird with the Ford engine and as a HWM-Corvette with the Chev.
After the Avery ownership a number of drivers raced the car. Roly Levis, Peter Haskett, Ron Roycroft, John Donnelly, Graeme Hallen and John Monehan all drove it with varying degrees of success.
