    Not known if the event was organised by NSCC, but both Ron Roycroft and Laurie Powell were NSCC members and feature in many early NSCC events - as posted on this thread.

    The Austin 7 is " Rubber Duck " which had been in New Zealand since before WW2.

    bigger copy of the photo from Graham Vercoe book " Historic Racing Cars of New Zealand.
    Also details the cars and drivers.
