A quite rare shot this one, as it captures the infamous BRP Ford actually moving under its own power! Under the grandly titled Sir Charles Napier Racing, Kaye Griffiths was awarded a fairly reasonable chunk of cash to run each New Zealand round of the 1970 Tasman Series. After having failed to even start the Bay Park, Levin, and Wigram races, and failing to finish at Pukekohe in the NZGP, Griffiths abandoned the old nail and Peter Hughes tried it out for size here at Teretonga. Unfortunately, it suffered a series of issues, and again failed to make the grid.
