    The Barrie McBride Collection Part 2 Rallying

    Ok so, here we have the 1972 and 1973 Heatway rallies as well as images from the 1981 Daybreaker rally from the Higgins gravel pit special stage in Palmerston North. Ok so starting with 1972 from Paeroa and from the Domain in Auckland. There is very little information to identify drivers here so any help gratefully received.

    Some great photos here. I love that three wheeling Mike Marshall one. Thats really pushing an Escort. If the Fiat 125 was Trevor Tapper I believe that was a South African 125 Scorpion and not a NZ 125T. That makes it a very rare car in NZ I wonder what happened to it. An interesting Name as the Abarth badge is of course a Scorpion.

    There is an interesting article on the 125T Fiats and their involvement in the B & H in a recent Classic Driver. I believe they were all yellow and seven were entered. It must have been a lap scorer's nightmare let alone the service crews.

    1981 Daybreaker Rally Higgins Metal pit stage

    Here I can be of no assistance. I was 8, and I am seen standing to the left of the foreground of the shot of the Chrysler Avenger, all I can tell you is the Hunter is a chap Bond, and the Mitsubishi Lancer I thick was Bruce Herbert

    Gee Rod how did I miss this one porche so wet needed a smile

    Jim, She did a bit in the old days that car. Note all the Escorts Aye Jimmy, they knew what a Porche looked like in the mirror, Mind you can remember seeing stones coming out the back of yours occasionally. (one windscreen at Taupo thanks to Jigger and you playing hard)

    I watched Jigger at Taupo in the v8 in his last yr. no one ever drove better than him that day such a good bloke.I have no doubt with these Induro. races coming up that black no 5 would be in the hunt seeing the driver enjoyed LAP after LAP and to think its just sitting there!!
