Thank You so much. We have been searching for photos and information on this car for so long, and this is amazing! It is an exceptional photo. On another note, we have traced the car right back to who the original owner and got the chassis number as this was missing, and also who Tony bought the car off (Keith St John) in Europe. The original owner was Malcolm Templeton in Northern Ireland. The car raced as a Formula Junior and then a Formula 3 car in 1964 before coming to NZ. For those in the Panelbeating trade look out in the upcoming Paneltalk for a write up on this car! I have attached the only other photo I have been sent, kindly by Davis McKinney, of Tony racing the car in 1966 at Wigram. Any other info or photos of the car at any stage would be hugely appreciated by any forum members, especially those who attended south island club events!
