Great site, and the recent albums from the 70s scene are a treat. I own the ex Halliday Escort, which went on to be further modified for Allan Woolf when he won the BNSW champioship outright in 1974. It's currently in the New Zealand Freighters livery from 1973 when the Halliday brothers were still campaigning it. The one thing that neither Rob Halliday nor John Harcourt (who campaigned it in the South Island Shell Sport series in the 80s), is the original registration number of the car. As soon as MNZ scarppaed the need for cars to retain their road papers, they pretty much disappeared for the radically modified cars, as this one was.
Rob Halliday and John Harcourt have both turned out all their racing photos, but none of us can find a good enough front on shot from the early 70s or late 60s where the registration number is clealry visible. The nearest we've got is two of the shots from the Sumpter collection, but not quite good enough. Perhaps someone out there has one?
Thanks everyone, John Dennehy.
