The Roaring Season

Hi, It looks like we have the same plate, I've had mine for around ten years. Cheers, Richard.

Hi Steve, I'd happily pay around the $50.00 mark to have access to the site. I agree with Lyndsay's comment above re contributors staying on board would be vital.

Cheers, Richard.

. This Toyota is one of three imported by Toyota New Zealand and converted into rally cars for a ‘Team Toyota’ entry into the 1973 Heatway Rally.

Car is now sold, cheers.

Dad's again. I have absolutely no idea about this as it appears to be taken at Donington, but not at a race meeting, so I have no date or details. Maserati, yes, Donington, yes. That's it!

Yes, I'd take one too.

I see there's an RX3 that rallied in the late 70's (in pieces) that appeared on Trademe yesterday, looks like an interesting car with most of the original bits still with it.

Sorry, some errors in the last post. Should read 'who wouldn't love to be the owner of that Escort'. Must start checking before hitting the button.

Hi Tunny7,Looking at the results of the 1973 Heatway, division 3 was the only division that all three Toyotas finished. Carter didnt start div one and Pinkerton didnt start div three.Love to have your car in my garage beside our Woolmark Escort. Peter. Thanks Peter, I doubt there are too many ...

The car in the article was the other surviving car, GG43. It looks to be in great nick as well.

Hi, had a look at the film and there's some great shots on there.

That was their colours Tunny, and it certainly looks the part, one very nice and historic car. Think Colin Taylor drove the other car, I may have photos. Did this car do the Ruby RallyFest celebration rally out of Hamilton about 5 years back or was on display in the pavillion. It could well have ...

Hi Steve, one of the cars is shown on the Heatway Rally programme (I think 1973) and it is in the colours. I 'm not sure which of the cars that was though, possibly GG43?

Hi, the history of the car is as follows. This Toyota is one of three imported by Toyota New Zealand and converted into rally cars for a ‘Team Toyota’ entry into the 1973 Heatway Rally. Graham Carter was the first driver of GG42; the car was then sold to and rallied by Ken Cleghorn. The previous own ...
