Posted on the NZ Hotrod Forum:

I received news from expat Kiwi Steele Therkelsen's son John that he passed away last Monday October 1st.
Steele was originally from Hastings and left NZ in the early 60's.
He worked as an engine builder in England for Lotus I believe, and through racing circles met Carrol Shelby, started working for him, and ended up living and working in California.
John said that Steele had some memorabilia that he had wanted to go to his car club in NZ.
Does anyone who knew Steele Therkelsen know what club that might have been?
John would be very grateful if we could satify his fathers wishes.
Any info appreciated, all the best,
CraigR
