I might have already posted this one on here, but does anyone know what happened to the Bill Leckie V8 Capri? Bill last raced it in the 1977 season, as pictured (photo supplied by Milan Fistonic) before it was outlawed with the MSNZ maximum 2 litre rule for 1978. I did speak to Bill about it a few years ago, and he told me he removed the McLaren running gear from it, plus the rear axle and gearbox, and traded the body and all the molds for a V8 Bedford van, to a guy who had a backyard car wreckers yard. I can't remember where Bill said the wreckers yard was, could have been in Papatoetoe? The guy who got it told Bill he was going to get it up and running again, but it hasn't been seen since.
