    Motoring pics Vintage Cars and events : first the VCC 1971 Hunua 100

    Have quite a collection that don't fit in other threads, so will gather them in one place;
    here ;

    Thread started in January 2016 and has had other car photos attached to it - more modern events, though the cars are still old-ish. The " 30 Year Rule " more or less.

    2021 on, will use the thread going forward for a lot of photo's that don't fit with other threads,Pukekohe the early years, Northern Sports Car Club, and Dunedin ..etc..

    Seen before on Yards and Yarns the 1971 Hunua Hundred, Auckland Vintage Car Club event.

    Not a true vintage but bits of it are. Actually all of the car was 1930's except for a couple of parts - the central section of the chassis was 1950's construction - the original BSA front and rear suspension was attached the the chassis rails / tubes.
    Lyle Chambers BSA Special - the Ford 8/10 powered one.
