Have had the first photo here from Ross Cammick for some time and was unsure where it was from Ross has now told me it was the 1981 Rally at Rotorua, at Easter. I borrowed [ swapped cars ] with my Ex and took her Sprite.
another view of the cars, Cameron Mackay and myself looking, I think Brad Chibnall with cigarette in mouth, the lady unsure.
** Car closest is Bryan and Brenda Harris - have recently got back in contact with them - part of the 1982 Healey Group to the USA
The Sprite [ seen at Napier in 1984 with its new owners ] on the Gymkhana course looks fairly mucky, lots of loose grass and so low to the ground.
Must get Ross to find some more photos from the Rally, I don't seem to have any !! .
As an aside there was a small gathering of cars on Bribie Island today in conjunction with the " Old Boats Day " that the local yacht club runs and in the lineup a 1965 Sprite that was a bit scruffy but goes well, took a couple of photos and will post later on.
