Long shot John but at a race meeting at Teretonga June 1977 there was an Anglia entered #88 R. Haines.
Dave Brown [builder of fine cars] was racing at this time maybe could rule it in or out!
Since you have the doors from Paul's car a little forensic investigation as to the paint colour underneath could provide some interesting hard facts to follow up on.
It would be great to find out who the builder was!!

Russ Haines still races in SFOS series and should be around Ashburton for most of any year.

[Kwaussie]

This looks like a well built likely contender!

Pretty sure its not that car, how ever AM6180 does have quite a bit of history if it still exists.

[john mackley]

this is what car looks like now

This will be that car that Kwaussie refers to as having raced at Teretonga in 1977 by R Haines.

These photos seen here were taken at a club race day, Ruapuna park and later at a local hillclimb.
After this, it was raced in OSCA as #88 , and that was for only a very brief time..
we don't have a pic of it in Osca trim, slick tyres , Door numbers etc, but Someone in southland - Invercargill area may have a photo.

.The car was sold soon after and later on, around 1981, the car ended up in Balclutha , converted back to a street car & owned by peter Thompson and re- registered as AD7727.
later again it was on sold by peter , to a guy who later Rolled it .
its not known by us where the car went after that , or if it has survived,

That would be a shame, why not compete in Pre65, OSCA, or clubmans depending on what rules you wish to comply with and create some fresh history for the car, a lot of anglia and cortina plus others from that era spent time under all of those class's, after all, you race cars, not pieces of paper, some people seem to forget that! Have you got hold of GT-Graeme Taylor ex Balclutha now Timaru, used to own the wrecking yard in Balclutha and is still involved in car club stuff plus history.

Hi jac I'm not giving up just yet been couple of weeks since been into Barry's for a catch up about Anglia I'm sure we will get it sorted hoping to have it at speed fest in Feb if we knew who built it we would be racing now Barry talked to Paul and he can't remember who he brought it off i thought it might be Dave love groves old car but not sure it's really annoying all these rules but i guess safety first cheers jac Mac

I believe the #88 car original paint color was dark green. I personally ripped the original wiring out of it & rewired it , also cut out the bonnet & boot under structures with a gas torch.
Cheers
