Repeating the pictures, have enlarged the information boards..

the details. If I see the car displayed again - will take better photo
A reproduction brochure, created in 1982 by Austin Healey Association in the USA about the 1961-62 Tri-Carb 3000's. from the original released at the time.
Technical details ;
The Map, of the journey to get there, via Flagstaff and Durango, returning was different as via Williams and the Grand Canyon
The South Central Coast group list
In the mountains of Colorado
Most of the cars at Flagstaff [ shown before ].
Graham Roberts in his LHD Healey 3000 on skinny tyres, going hard at Pukekohe in a drift. date unknown but around 1979 - 81 ..
A group of Healey's being prepared for a Concours, think it is the 1981 Rally at Rotorua..
That's me Hat and beard, Ross Cammick's 3000 past the Sprite and Reg Whittakers 100/8 beside that.
the first car is I think a Wellington car
Has anyone got any photos of the Austin-Healeys that raced in the Classic car race at Wellington in 1985?
An article is being written about them and the writer would like some illustrations for it.
Thanks,
Ross Cammick
One of the traditions at Rotorua was at the Motel, the party room was where the single guys were, (whether single - single or single as the wives [ WAGS ] had stayed home ) and a can Mountain was always built, to be taken down at the end of the weekend ..
Unsure what year but here are two photos I received recently from another AH Club guy.
no names are provided to protect the innocent !!.
After a bad experience at a Motel, I think the Kon Tiki, we superglued the cans together and instead of taking them down left them, as the Club made a decision never to return, the club had been at that motel many times, and got on well with the owners, the bad experience was with new owners, who had us spread all through the motel instead of all together, around 50 people or more, so we disturbed some guests.
Photo provided by Jim Reece, his car is the 6th from left with the Chrome Wheels, thought it was Ross' photo hence the title, but Ross says not his, could be John Rundle who owns the first car [ left ] and was a photographer of note.
It would be around 1973 - 74.. from what I have been told.
Des sent me this photo .. the car is still in his ownership but in bits, a project no doubt ??
1978, or could be a year or so later !! It is 1980, confirmed by Des, as he was there, and I was confused .. again !!, so many photo's
This Healey is there ..
and here ;
not sure if the same car /// ???.
can you see the Healey ?? I can..
