I spent some time with Robin Tanner today and he told me some more neat stories from back in the day.

The '38 Chev coupe street and hill climb that Robin bought from Rod. as above, was traded, less engine, to Alan Lim out Pukekohe for the ex Coppins Zephyr Corvette, also without engine.

The engine from the coupe was fitted to the Zephyr, along with the Weber cross ram and DCOE carbs that reportedly (claimed) we off the Norm Beech Monaro. The story is that the carbs and manifold were taken off the Monaro and sold here. Robin bought the whole setup from Keith McGregor.

As we know there is a lot of BS when talking about used race parts and cars, so there is a caveat to be applied.
The car Zephyr was sold to a South Island racers according to Robin. This must have been in the early 70's I guess.

Bruce.
