The Roaring Season

Well at least we have a definite on the mystery car, now we can start from scratch to try and figure out what my car was ??????

A lovely higher res photo of the mystery car that shows the number plate would be lovely because that would at least confirm one way or the other if it is my car. I'm happy if it is post 71 as I have no particular need for it to be earlier, pre 74 is great as that keeps it pre Australian design ...

http://www.silhouet.com/motorsport/tracks/ausnzhc.html Austins Road Used from 1962-1965. I claim no personnel knowledge and can only go on the info I/we find. The windscreen for the car was gone so unfortunately no Wof sticker to indicate when last rego'd. I'm actually glad it's not the Billington ...

Thanks for the ongoing research, I am more inclined to think that it is more likely the mystery car than the Billington car. These images are from a video on YouTube ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDOV6MjSOXM ) of Austins Rd hillclimb which even though the video says 59/60 only ran at Austins Rd ...

Have just watched the video of the Austins Rd Hillclimb on YouTube, the car 21seconds in looks like the blue car in the photo including the white bonnet scoop. The video says 1959 or 60 but in a history of Australian and NZ hillclimbs says Austins Rd only used 1962 - 65. Does anyone know where ...

My photo is a scan from my photo album done when I got the car, from memory the blue isn't metallic, will climb over the fence and see if I can get some new digital photos. lost a whole lot of digital ones from 7 years ago when my computer died with no backup. I would be very surprised if 2 De Joux ...

Are you sure the car (128) in post 42 is the same car as above in post 167, different bonnet scoop, wing mirror, screen, I don't have access to my car at the moment, stored next to my workshop so cant have a look at bonnet to see if any indication of a bonnet scoop at some point. I am intrigued that ...

Interesting if we can find further photos of this car, a closer photo of car when found, look at colour under peeling top coat in doorway and in hollows in bonnet when sanded.



Still in my possession.

Thanks for responding, the info about the plates helps. I was told that the body was made in 1956, by someone who should know, I just wish I could remember their name. When I first saw the car it had a windscreen frame and roof on which may have been how it originally ran ?. Barn find 2000 3sm.jpg ...

Hello all, just joined the forum because after many years I'm back looking for any info on a Ford 10 De Joux bodied special I purchased back in 2000 in Fielding ? with the help of Dallas Crampton and Alan Stott, both of whom have now gone. Car rescue on NZ Police trailor 2sm.jpg Car on trailor ...
