More of the Bill Leckie Capri, again from the 1976 season, and then in its later 1977 guise, as it was best remembered.
The 1977 photos show Jim Richards at the wheel at Pukekohe following a mechanical failure with the Sidchrome Mustang at an earlier event. Bill was still suffering from the burns he'd received when the car caught fire at Manfield a few weeks earlier. The Capri had been repaired, Richards had no car, the rest is history. Richards actually broke the outright Saloon Car lap record at this event.
