The Alfa V6 is in a Lancia Stratos replica. Paul Madeley is just awaiting his from the UK and that too will be Alfa powered.
I 'm presuming there is another Caffeine & Classics this Sunday, but the February event being an anniversary is always a real biggie.
Yep, last month was the biggest ever apparently. This month's will probably be smaller than average though as it clashes with Beach Hop.
Clashes are unavoidable I suppose, but all it may mean is fewer hot rods - and Beach Hop regulars.
Hopefully, with more and more new cars appearing each month, it should still be well worth visiting - if the weather is good.

There were quite a few modern Aston Martins present.
And that's a wrap from Caffeine and Classics, February 2018, Smales Farm, adjacent to the motorway at Takapuna.

Back to Hampton Downs - Legends
I'm not sure what is now under the bonnet, but the car wears Wolseley 1500 and an 1800 badge on the rear, but used to run with a 1950cc crossflow. It is still a crossflow.

I persisted with the 'new' long lens, determined to make a better job than at Pukekohe! It gave me the opportunity to try a couple of new locations, but these first ones are from the public area.

ERC, Ray, not getting to " Caffeine and Classics " again, may do so in July [ no pun intended ] , they are advertising today that it is on and is fine ... "At the Moment " ...
Yup. Fine - and a 'new' LHD Healey put in an appearance Roger! As expected, nowhere near as many as usual, but still a fair few, though neither of the two primary car parks were anywhere near full. As usual, some cars we hadn't seen before.
Nice work with the long lens Ray, Some fabulous shots there. Can I use the track pics on the NZ-HSS Facebook page please, with due credits of course ?
Thank you, in advance
Bruce.

The Wolseley 1500/1800/1950 is now listed on TradeMe. PLEASE folks, can we at least spell the name correctly?
PS: After a sent message, the spelling has now been corrected.

Ray I agree, a bit bad when the guy selling the car can't even get it right, there's bl***y badge on the front of the car.
When Frank Karl had a Wolseley 16/60 that was used by AHCC member to transport some Americans to our Rally in Napier / Hastings in 1984 we christened it the " WolsHeAley " model BJ9 ..
Here it hides behind my Austin - Healey 100 and our daily driver the 1980 Mini 1275 GT
Thank you Ray, much appreciated.

Ma! He's winking at me...
Positive camber - which may explain a lot! By preference? Note the heat haze off the exhaust.
