1989 NZ Sports Sedans

[AMCO72]

Isnt that so true about some race cars. Someone buys it because it is a winner then proceeds to wreck it by 'improving' it. The classic case is the ex Leo Leonard Ford that COULD have been an Historic race car today. Instead, Tim Buxton in Cambridge bought it and turned it into a 'I dont know what'......some sort of sports sedan. I know the 'new' engine didn't seem to be able to last more than a couple of laps of old Taupo. Was built by 'reputable' engine man at vast cost!!!! Dont know where it is now, but would be a major getting it back to original. I think it won one of the long distance races wayback when.... Mr. B needs shooting. Woops shouldn't have said that....might get into trouble.

Yip there was a project that made me cringe the first time i heard the sparks flying from the grinder.
from the figure, i heard, was paid for that engine, it should have had huge pull, man.

Yip that's me, Terry and I still have the car, yes it did look a bit like Bruce Manon's car for a while when it was sponsored by Piako Freighters, then I painted it white. Yes I worked for Brad Jones Racing in the mid 90's when they were Audi Sport Australia then went to McLaren in the late 90's then back to BJR when they started with V8's in 2000 and am still there.
