Great photo Southspeed - thank you for posting!
Only Ruapuna and Teretonga this year - like last. The 2014 goal is the lot!
I just love the Quertier's Stuart - when I first spied it at Teretonga some years ago, I spent some time just admiring it as a mobile work of art. I must say it is also very well exercised!
Stuart Ford V8 Special (Mark Quertier) - Teretonga Speedfest 2013
Great shot of an historian at work! Is that Mr Wise about to lean on you Michael?
Hey JM was that green Victor run by Tony Mann your old rocket ship?
The 'Jennings Special' - what appears to be small block Chev powered Fiat Topolino pictured in post #50, can anybody tell us about it?

Pretty sure thats a Ford Y motor?Originally Posted by bigbanger
Wasnt there an feature done on this guy and the car in NZ Classic driver a couple of moons ago? Might see if I can find it.
Its an old Allcomer car from the '60s, has quite a history.
Thanks all for the info, yes Steve on second looks, it's not a SBC, the centre exhaust ports are more separated than a SBC and definitely have a Ford 'Y' resemblance. And John, the racing number 368 might well be a nod to a 368 Lincoln V8 fitted in the past.
This is the 64 G P meeting.
Thats an amazing field,
George Bunce there also.
Ok, have found the article on the 'Jennings Special'.....Issue no 24 of NZ Classic driver. An in depth article. The car now, or was, owned by Harry Orpwood, a Christchurch a man well known in the hotrod world. I say was, because as the article went to print it was for sale.
Harry did an engine transplant from the original 1957 Lincoln 368 cu in V8, to a 289 Chev unit, so sounds as though it has had another engine since, as opinion seems to be the current engine is a Ford.
As NZ Classic Driver does not have a date stamp, I cant tell you the exact month or year, but it is about mid 2008.....No 24....the one with the yellow Cord on the cover.
What a field of legends - drivers and cars. The stories that could be told from that one group alone
The 65 G P meeting.
This from the 66 G P meeting.
Woody-these programs are absolutely fantastic, Aussies here-Jane and Geoghegan. Colin Lumsden, George Bunce again, Pointon, Who was nominated for 129 Mini Ford-was this Ted Thompsons Mini twincam? Morarri. What a sight these races must have been. Lots of Minis in 66, fields getting civilizes.
They all were
