New Zealand ShellSport Saloon Series 1978 - 1985

[crunch]

Ok, my interest is peaked!! I am officially too fat to fit a Formula Pacific car, so need to go searching elsewhere for a potential toy.
Is there a listed that can be provided of any of the original Shellsport cars that are available for sale? I loved these things as I started as a flag marshall at Manfield in 1980, these were great! What happened to the Mike Moore LHD Mark 2 Escort, the Kelford Cams Mark 2 1600 Escort? I crewed for a while on a Datsun 1200 Coupe that was the ex-Sanyo Greg Lancaster car...where did that go? Super excited now...

I think most of them are in the South Island now crunch. A forward thinking enthusiast there bought a bunch of them when nobody else wanted them, and likely saved many from extinction. Others do pop up from time to time for sale. One of the Reg Cook Datsuns was for sale a while back, as was the Honda Civic that Cherryl Parnell raced.

I also helped build and crew for Malcolm Webb's Starlet, and knew where that was about 5 years ago; sadly it seems it was broken up into small pieces.

Crunch - I have sent you a PM.
