My last Monaro photos of a wonderful trip that brought it back to it's roots in Morrinsville.
Across the road in the blue building, now the Morrinsville Sandwich Bar, is where Spinner had his shop where all we local "grease monkeys" would gather to hear all the racing stories and escapades of the likes of Rod Coppins and Spinner etc. Some of us may have been there to also inhale the racing fuel fumes ! (Almost as bad as being next to Bruce Goodwin's 1965 Mark 3 Zephyr when he fired that up at Taupo !)
Spinner checking one of John's early photos after hearing the engine start up.
My last photo shows Spinner / Spencer Black, the original owner driver of the Monaro and John McKechnie the grand restorer/ owner of this wonderful machine.
Thanks guys, one for giving me a job and the other for taking me along for an unforgettable ride.
All the best,
Ken H.
