That would be me, but no I didn't buy it, a good friend of mine did. I advertised the panels on trademe, as they were not required and just taking up a lot of space. Over the few years my friend has owned it we have managed to find a lot of the original Gp.A parts that had become scattered to the wind. The long Getrag bellhousing, all of the original bumpers and mouldings (still with stickers from the Eggenberger/Crichton days!) and a race engine (one from the Rouse car I believe)We also paid a visit to Mark Petch's workshops, and rummaged through a lot of boxes and came up with a bunch of parts/spares for this car. We have nearly all of the major/hard to find parts for the car now, and we will strip the car to a bare bodyshell in the next few months, and the restoration can begin.Originally Posted by superford
It will be restored back to Gp.A spec. and probably to this livery that it ran in Wellington/Pukekohe with. Hard to believe it is the same car as the pic above!
