    Wow! Great to see. Well done Greg.

    I wasn't in NZ for the original, but cars like this are what some aspects of motor racing should be about. More individualism. Less 100% parity.

    There's a limit to how many pics it is worth taking, when all cars look the same.

    Thank you to all on here and everyone we saw on Saturday at Pukekohe and then Sunday at the Hot Rod Blow Out. The feedback to the car has been very humbling. We look forward to getting the car finished off and then having some fun with it

    The Morrari - Terry [ Steelo ] Baker photos from 1965.

    John Larry Lawton has been given the late Terry Baker archive of photos, which he has put on the -
    " Old New Zealand Motor Racing "
    Facebook group.

    John L Lawton notes ;
    " In memory of my old mate, the late Terry Baker (AKA Steelo) I would like to start posting heaps of his old photos. Terry passed away in January last year and I would like to thank his stepson Carl for keeping all his photos and shipping them up to me. There are hundreds of them and I am gradually going to scan them and post the NZ ones on this FB page.Terry and I go back go the 1960's when i meet him at the Auckland Car Club rooms. We travelled to Aussie and Europe together. Some of his photos I will be able to add a few details to, some I was standing next to him when he took them and others I have no idea who, where or what. "
    Included in the first trio are two of the Morrari - one with the number plate - new issue EW4078 at the GP meeting in 1965.
