Thanks Rhys for posting, Never actually met Fred but remember him racing at a few " Classic " meetings including the Ardmore Reunion in 1989, and a few years earlier - Ohakea in 1982 - where it was entered as the " Jackson Special ".

I understand from Kevin Hirst that Fred was a great Guy when looking for help or parts.

Here the " Northland Special " in the paddock at the Ardmore meeting.
