I presume this is the car. Must have been a Pukekohe Car Club Hill Climb around 1964/65(?) and a bit damp as you can see. Would this be quite early in its history, as body looks unpainted and no windscreen or mirrors. Must have been before permanent number plates (mid 65 I think).

I thought I had 1 or 2 pictures from Dave McKinney of the car on a trailer, but can't find them - maybe they were on a posting on this or another forum. I will search further.

Your method of curving the 'screen sounds a bit like how they bent the acrylic viewing tunnels for Kelly Tarlton's underwater place.
