Custaxie50: I saw it in Wairau Rd. What engine was in it at this stage.
I am trying to contact an ex hot rodder from nth shore to try and find out what he may know about goings on. This was awhile back and not sure were he is now but hope to find out.
Back in those days, alot of cars were on the road legal/illegal at different times, and yes you wouldn't think of it now. Mind you back then a gallon of gas was only couple of bob so times have changed.

I was at a funeral up at Kerikeri on Friday and happened to see 2 brothers who had a bit to do with car in original days. They had a service station and a big boat motor. Under different circumstances I would have had long fact finding conversation, but this will hopefully come at later date.
