[khyndart in CA]

David Piper brought his Lotus 16 out to NZ in 1960 to participate in the race series.


David's best finish in NZ was taking 2nd place at the Lady Wigram race


A most interesting variation of cars and drivers.

In 1970 David drove his own Porsche 917 K at LeMans with Gjs van Lennep but retired after a tire blew at high speed. June 13th 1970.
