The Roaring Season

Awesome! A good portion of NZs late 60s/early 70s muscle car racers (JR, Fahey, Marwood) will all be together in the one place at Hampton Downs! JR posters will be available, and I'd like to say thanks to Terry Marshall for again supplying his superb photos. The Sidchrome Mustang never looked better than it did in its championship winning season.

My day just keeps changing, looks like we will now have Jim Richards available for signing and chatting as well, double duty for him as he's racing one of the Beemeers!! SO, not only will have one of the best Muscle Car line ups ever, we'll have Paul, Dennis and Jim, now that's gotta be worth the price of admission doesn't it, infact i might just have too pay twice cause its going to be fantastic.

You got any pictures Steve?

Fiats for a lot of years.

Paul Fahey came into car racing via motor-cycle racing. Unless I'm very much mistaken, he had raced on the Isle of Man (like George Begg) ; he is listed as an entry in one of the Bike races at the 1958 Ardmore GP meeting riding an AJS 7R.

So he was not selling Fords ? back then

Paul and Dennis are the same age i believe, 78!!! its great to have these 2 guys still enthused in motor sport.

Dale Mathers

P&R Motors with Ralph Emmson in Takanini/Papakura for years, then from the mid seventies in Otahuhu, then St Heliers.

Paul had a Mazda (?) dealership in St. Heliers for a long time.

Car dealer.

What was Pauls history car dealer , mechanic, ?

And for those who didn't pick up a Fahey poster last year, I believe some of these are still available?

As well as the Fahey/Marwood posters, Dennis also has his own poster, featuring his Trans-Am Camaro.

Nigel, you'll need to contact Dale about those. He is organising printing.

One for the collection and worth framing once signed.

Fantastic Steve - will you be holding some back for the 2nd weekend?

As per the HMC thread, A3 posters of Fahey and Marwood will be available at the NZFMR at the HMC pit area, where both of these guys will be on hand to sign them.

As on other thread. Awsome photo.
That is one for the Autograph.
Make a good backdrop for them when they are on board.
Note little love tap on right front guard of Escort, i think Coppins was the reciever.

Heres a beautiful Terry Marshall photo of both of these legends doing battle, 40 years ago!

Brilliant! Its great that Historic Muscle Cars is celebrating these legendary tin-top racers.

Paul at the Amon Festival - I believe that he really enjoyed himself and we'll look forward to meeting him again this year.
