Matamata Round the houses.

[Roger Dowding]

Posted by Graham Woods on the " Old New Zealand Motor Racing " group page on Facebook - It appears to be from the Morrie Given photos in the Scott-Given Studio collection - they were photographers in Matamata at the time and Morrie is Kevin Hirst Uncle, I understand.
Ross Cammick had previously been given, and scanned, the set of photos by Myles Hicks - who as mentioned has been restoring the car. The process started by his father the late Gavin Hicks after being purchased many years ago

P A T McLaughlin in the Austin Healey " Ruddspeed " 3000, unsure if still with that motor in the 1964 Event, had Race #28.
** Edit ; see note from Milan Fistonic Post #106 car shown as 4000cc in the 1964 Programme.

- It had the 3993cc Austin A125 Motor by the time of the 1965 Event Race #34 - later out to 4200.



The car is running with a protective cover over the muffler under the door sill.
