if it was Bills, 4 years ago I carpeted and trimmed the interior.
Car was sitting on Minilites.
I heard that it went to Australia.
He told me he owned it, sold it , then eventually bought it back.
At that time there were apparently only 2 in NZ- other one in East Tamaki.
A Northern Muscle Car racer brought 3 in-one races, the other 2 -parts.
Bills was one grunty machine

Alfa
Jaguar - seen before - different place
That Lotus Cortina
The Watson TR again -
I did mention the provision of a long drop for the spectators
well look over the fence behind the TR. it appears in the Alfa and Jaguar photos too !! and a few already posted
the angle of said long drop, indicates I had my camera angled to catch the car.
Coming up single seaters and some specials, vintage and not so.
then finale is of Healeys
These are the photos as taken just resized for TRS.
Single Seaters
John Wigston
Vintage and Specials
A Three wheeler [ Morgan ?? -].
any details, car or driver please add..
the brown jag would likley be the westhall/ uhlenberg car, (now back in use)
Roger- correct, also bonnet has the distinctive vents
Just scanned some from the 1989 event. Posted 1 or 2 on my mix of pics thread. I think the white MGK3 special might be Brian Haywood. Definitely Mike Westall's brown Jaguar. Sadly, still dealing with cylinder head issues, so has withdrawn from the Porsche Festival.
Post 69, not a Morgan, suspect a one off. The white car is one of a few built by MG club owners with BMC B series mechanicals and a mould taken off the Ransley Riley. Grant Kern runs one in your series Ray.
I had noticed that Rhys!!! Heading to Paihia/Keri Keri tomorrow for a couple of days.
Colin Lewis from matakana had or still has one the same as the white M.G. type, used to compete with the S.C.C.N.Z then moved to S.I. some years ago. May still have it.Originally Posted by Oldfart

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.
Here's something to make you envious Roger.
In 1985 a group of us went to Melbourne and then travelled up to Ballarat for the A-H Rally.
On the day of departure Steve Pike threw me the keys to this 100S (belonging to Jim McConville) and said
you're driving this!
I thought he was taking the piss, but he was deadly serious. Even then, this was an extremely valuable car
so I was very careful at all times. I remember it had very tall gearing and took a while to get off the mark.
It also had that awful 3 speed gearbox and overdrive that I have always felt a bit clumsy, but it was amazing
to get the opportunity to drive one for such a distance and over the whole event. Absolutely lovely car and very original at the time. I believe since then it has been repainted in the original blue and white colours.
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.
[QUOTE=BMCBOY;50249]Nice to see a couple of photos of my BN7 here Roger. Where is the concours judging taking place -
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.
Just when I though the Hill Climb series of pics was finished found another 9, so will post them.
Found a few more probably 1988 but unsure
all British.
A few more to follow again British ..
Intrerestingly the power pole background is concrete and looks new, that is probably because it was the resting place of a Jaguar Mark 11 in an earlier years Hill Climb, I was at the same spot with camera and CB Radio, the Jag gently slid off the corner and sideways into the haybale against the pole, not too much damage from memory
Buckler think this is a well known and raced car
and again a Healey to finish
