This car sat in a air conditioned garage with a Phase 3 on one side and a L34 on the other, so it was not lonely. Ross has had some toys. Think I know the capri in back ground as well, nice car but the boot was small for chilly bins. Had a Mk11 hatch later and that was a bit easier to pack in the chilly bins (we ate alot)
Right on both counts Rod. This is Ross Tebbs boxer that he just sold to a bloke that has put it into a museam. Ross has replaced this car with a brand new Aston Martin that was specially painted red for Ross. (they dont do red as any of their colours)....but they did this for Ross as well as flew him to the Monaco F1GP. The Capri was in fact the late Duffys wife's car. Duffy was tragically killed whilst .in the Matamata area. Ross owned an Angia Shellsport car that was driven by Colin Reed. This car had a tilt front and was the quickest Anglia of it time. That particular car was sold to Mr Harold Wooton Senior and he raced it with moderate success at the ripe old age of 84....Harold Snr son Harold Jnr was to go on to be President of the Sports Sedan Association (whilst I was secretary at the same time..) and race a lightweight RX3 Coupe....(ex Rex Findllay??) and it is Harold Jnr son Alister that is currently racing in the Toyota Racing Series and going well. A great racing family with true Kiwi values and respect.....Regards, Tony Rutherford.
