When Chris was farming, he had a Landcruiser on his farm. A picture of him down on his farm would feature well.If his family have a pho preferably with a dog on the deck. Chris and his wife Tish always drove a Lexus or a Toyota.

Brilliant! Thanks Allan. I also have a vague recollection of him racing a fourth generation Celica in circuit racing. From memory it was part of a two-car Toyota supported team?

He drove a Camry in Targa 2003 with Murray Walker as navigator. Plenty of photos on Groundsky website.

Further to my request on post #32, does anyone have photos of any of the Toyotas Chis Amon drove? They can be road cars or race cars.

Steve.........I've Emailed one. Don't know if it's any different. Can't help you with more

Hi Tony, its quite small so won't print very well as it is.

OK folks, the book is coming along well. I've been inundated with people wanting their Toyotas featured in the book and should end up with a good mix of classic cars, modified road cars, race cars etc. Old rear wheel drive Toyotas are hugely popular with the twenty-somethings I've discovered!

I'm after photos to help with the book, and was hoping people here could help. They include:

1: Trevor Crowe's two Toyota Starlets and his Corolla Chev
2: Any Toyotas racing in either B&H 500, B&H Endurance Series, another other racing category in the 1970s and 1980s
3: Toyota rally cars
4: Toyota powered Formula Pacifics
5: Toyotas racing in the 2 Litre NZ Touring Car Championship in the 1990s
6: The Altezzas that raced the 2 Litre NZ Touring Car Championship (run by Barry Tomlinson?)
7: Pics from the Toyota Racing Series
8: Pics from the Toyota 86 Series

Also, I'm trying to find someone with a first gen Corolla thats in original condition and not modified.

Please flick me an email if you can help with any of the above: [email]theroaringseason@gmail.com[/email]

Thanks in advance.

[quote="Steve Holmes"]Hi Rhys, is there somewhere I can get the story on Amon's involvement with the NZ Toyotas?[/quote]

If you can get hold of a copy of this Toyota mag it has an article on Amon's involvement with the company.

Of course something in there about the Amon involvement with Toyota.[/quote]
