Early NZ Rallies

See my post #95...

My memory is that Vallis's car was one of the three original Levins, but don't remember which

Richard Bean from Levin had another (or the same...)

Think Vallis ended up with Colins car, still thinking about the other car on the bridge, could it be the Dyer Bros?

May fading memory was that it was someone called Rabbidge, but you'd know better than I would

From the 1973 Heatway Rally review booklet, edited by David Hall:
"It was impossible that Moonshine would not catch someone out for it is a tricky bit of road. The Escort of Carl Rabbidge rolled down a bank and into a stream but was later towed out with little damage. Ian Pinkerton put on a fantastic show of driving when he came onto a bridge whose entrance was already blocked by Tim Dyer in his Cortina. How he got by is one of those things about rallying. In doing so he damaged his suspension."

The event programme lists Car No. 103 as Cortina 1600GT driven by P.Dyer & G.Dyer.

No David, we were down a bank and in a creek after the finish line.
