    Great pictures, i'm sure David McKinney will identify the Wellington hill-climb cars, he was probably there on the day.

    Oh, all right then

    As rf84 says, Bob Gibbons in the MkV Cooper

    The other is the Christchurch-built Shadbolt Special, which spent a lot of time around Wellington. Owner/driver at this point was one R K Reardon
