    Chaindrive, when did it race originally, is not in the Graham Vercoe book, just checked under ACE , but is on page 245 under the RA1, article .. there is a picture of it racing in Lyttleton, against a similar looking car, in 1989 ? so guessing originally ran in the early 60's.. can scan it for you..

    Well done Roger. It is a rewarding hobby. The only car I have ever regretted selling was my NA MX5. Let's see the finished articles.
    Any pics greatly appreciated.

    Take a close look at the photo from Vercoe's book and the coloured photo from Hampton Downs. Is the car following the Ace3 the same car in both photos?

    Allan - the front suspension, nose cone and screen all look the same could be right.. and whose / what is it !! Will have to go through Vercoe's book for other pictures, a huge task / ask , might need a beer while doing it .. my job for tomorrow..

    Would like to find a source for the Shell Racing New Zealand decals as used in late sixties/early seventies which featured Shell logo and white steering wheel on red background. They were on just about every NZ car raced in the era. I had a couple on my Lotus when I raced it in Historics. Full size or scale are ok.

    Chaindrive, thanks, I may do that for a garage scene I am going to make when i get all my models unpacked .. may need your expertise when it happens .. presume you can do that with any type of sign or logo - the printing onto a decal sheet instead of paper ..

    Cheers
