Following on from the AHCC Hill Climbs
A few Healey pics including more of the black Healey CT 1125, these were taken at the Clubs National Rally held at Pukekohe and surrounding district, with Concours, Touring Run, and a Dinner Saturday at the Pukekohe Club, then Gymkhana and prizegiving at the Gymkhana then back to the Motel on the Sunday.
I was organiser / co-ordinator, my last Official Duty with AHCCNZ, as we ceased running the Hill Climb that year too !!.

CT 1125


The Concours some BIG ONES


Busy driveway at Autoasis, Mark Donaldson the AHCCNZ founder and first President's place on Papakura Clevedon Road, near Ardmore. Mark raced at Ardmore in 1989.




Pukekohe Hill, overlooking the town


The Gymkhana, near Otaua organised by Reg Whittaker who helped the Hill Climb organisation and was the man on the ground with the locals.

Nice to see a couple of photos of my BN7 here Roger. Where is the concours judging taking place - I can't remember that particular occasion. Looks like Chris White filling in the form.

Ross, the Concours was in the Motel grounds, the Motel was on the road from Pukekohe to Bombay, Pukekohe East Road I think.
have another pic of all the cars but it is a bit dark, will try to brighten it. That would be Chris acting as a judge, was a low key Rally as I did most of it, as the club committee weren't keen to put any money up, and just left me to organise, Reg of Waiuku was a great help though, he organised the paddock for the gymkhana and there was a barn / shed that we had the prize giving in, unsure if at his place or nearby in Bothwell Park Road . I did get the Presidents Trophy though, still have the miniature.

Your drive in the 100S yes very jealous, saw some including one that sat in Rene Cades garage in Fountain Valley in 1988, not hers, plus those at Snowmass in 1982.

Here is the scene in the grounds of the Motel, you drove through the middle of the buildings the Office and house was on one side and the units on the other.



Think my 100 is the one on the very left, probably came last, as fairly scruffy by then, wasn't going to enter but really had no choice, organised the event so had to participate.
