    Brilliant! There are glimpses of a lot of well known cars there. One currently on Trade Me, Halsey Logan in at least 3 different cars, (GeeBee will get excited about now) The red well messed about Peugeot 203 is one of my favourites, last seen near Culverden.

    On the infield at the Nelson Beach Races about 1967/8. My Ford V8 Special on a borrowed trailer hooked up to my 55' Ford Customline [ matching colours....... ]. Just about every thing I owned at the time plus a box of tools.......[ Rosalie Stuart Photo

    Talking with Kelvin Brown recently. He has now sent me a series of photos of the build process of that #4 car. Kelvin built it, sold it to Roger, not sure of the link to Charlie as owner or driver. Roger did a good number of events in it himself. Another, "I wonder where that is now" cars.
    Kelvin and I were talking about a re-creation, but finding a Ford 8 would be almost the hardest part. His story of the build is a good one if anyone is interested I will type it up and get him to check it.

    This may have been shown before, but in any event is worth a look. Lots of photos scroll on through them. ----

    Is this photo taken near Nelson, it looks like a New Zealand number plate?

    Shows in Carjam as a 1948 Ferrari 166 1992cc. Just as an interesting aside I note that all the photos of 166s show them as right hand drive. Anyone got any information or thoughts as to why?
