Seafield Rd Hillclimb, Napier, 2010.

I have always had a thing for this car..The first time I saw it was at Manfeild and Francis Pointen had it in green and white with a Lotus Twin Cam in it. Later on a club mate Kevin Simpson bought the car and painted it black. He changed the engine for an alloy BDA that he got out of the Ralt of Davey Jones at the end of the Puke meeting. The engine was also set back at that time. During the rebuild a number of parts were replaced and I ended up with the seat and dry sump tank. The seat still does service in my kids go kart.!!!

I met up with Don last week and had a good look at the car. It is in pieces at the moment and the engine needs some work done but it is a great looking car and would really like to see it on track again. Thanks Don.
