Whatever happened to these Kiwi Single Seater racing oddities...

I know John still has this car but say's its a real Matich, so I guess when you say it enough it will become true! John has a lot of old cars "worth a fortune" but one mans junk!!!

Dave the 'Katipo/Matich' car was in Timaru for many years with Dave Morrison, I remember it being converted to look like a modern wing/sidpod car at Vaughan Motors by Dads car yard in Church Street in the mid 80's, saw Dave this year and he told me John Gobbe in ChCh has all the remains, I may be wrong but I think Dave had a new chassis fabricated and the original Matich one was scrapped on his farm!

This should be in the ads but it is relevant here

Hi Nigel, Dave also sold original chassis to john as well, very worst for wear, but all there.the new chassis Dave built , although a work of art in itself, looked nothing like the katipo.

Hi rog, if john thinks he got a real matich, then he must be blind, look up Katipo in the search bar for discussion on it.

I realise I am coming to this thread slightly late(!) but can anyone give me a magazine and date for the Peter Hughes for sale ad please?

Just to say, I've had an answer to this question (Auto News March 9 1970 for anyone who's interested!).
