2 pics of your car Peter
Attached are a few of the photos I found for Peter and Jill Bryan for GL 9897.
I have a copy of their book and it is a credit to them - obviously a great deal of time and research has been done.
Their website makes fascinating reading.
Some marvellous photos there bringing back a few memories. Is the Fiat 125 Glen McIntyre?
Great read on your website Peter. Very thorough job.
This shot of Dad must be an early form of rallying in NZ. I think it was a 'special' section of a trial???
I think the old fella should be on here also with an early Heatway XU1 shot. Dad and Wayne Jones
Actually it looks like Golden Shell Rally on the door flashes
I found these the other day and thought you may find them of interest Steve

Now that is really weird! That photo of me and Peter Richardson, who was at Waimate with me and Dad last month. Firstly the overalls I am wearing (Which were ex Fittipaldi McLaren F1 overalls that Phil Sharp brought out with the Modus M4) are the very same ones we had in Waimate with us, for Dad to wear if required. He got stuck in them when the zip failed, and decided to forgo his ride in Carlo's escort with me in case he got caught out needing a toilet stop. Secondly the sunglasses I am wearing. Dad was only talking to me in Waimate about these amazing sunglasses that I gave him on the start line of one of the Benson & Hedges races. He was never a fan and did not wear sunglasses back then. I told him that in my racing in the rain, you can see better with sunglasses on. He tried them and has been raving about them ever since. Unfortunately he lost them.......................but the legend of these amazing glasses lives on. Very strange for a photo to surface with 3 Waimate 50 coincidences. I don't remember much about this rally except I think it was an Auckland Car Club event. I had not rallied for years and I won some trophy, possibly for the class win, when they realized I had entered under the Northern Sports car club, and so they said they couldn't give it to me. That was silly on my part because I was a member of both clubs.....................................
Steve, is that Warwick Irving over your right shoulder.
Hi, I recently bought one of the Toyota's that competed in the 1973 Heatway event and was hoping someone might have some photos of it from back in the day? Any info would be appreciated.
