Hello, I have been told about De Reszke cigarettes sponsoring a number of things in New Zealand, but so far I cannot find any pictures. I am desperately trying to find a picture of a poster or racecar with DR sponsorship. Not just an advertisement, but a reference to the specific sponsorship on the car, race or championship; i.e. not a program advertisement, but a direct reference like the Rothmans Championship or Marlboro 500. It's been driving me crazy.
The name was " De Reszke " and indeed as mentioned they sponsored Motor Race meetings and races. usually using the DR name and " DR Filters BEST ".. here another photo from Waimate, in 1963 - the start of the Main Race with the DR banner above. a Graham Woods archive picture and as he would say NMP - " not my picture "
Again the Banner in 1964 - over the Start Line - this time the photo of the Saloons by Euan Sarginson
The Race sponsored by D.R. and the trophy the DR Filter Cup
I also thought the spelling was wrong [ no " z " ] but there is - here a 1950 De Reszke Cigarette Tin for sale in New Zealand.
