He had a Thames van painted up in the same colours from memory. I need to try and find the article. Scott Wismans viva was powered by a I think 308 V8 also it ...

Great to see these old photos it must have been one of the first mustangs in NZ with flared gaurds this car has a big history of owners & drivers.Thanks for finding the pics.

All we need now is some with Christie Morris when it was Red

Great to see the restorations going well Kelvin did you get a motor & trans with the car from Laurence Bruce with injection webers ?

Kelvin Towns,Fantastic to see your photos & information on the ex Reds Dawson Camaro it was such a reliable & colourful car that travelled all the south & North Island circuts. Does Kelvin have the old engine, as raced by Laurence Bruce, also the fuel injection as It changed to 4 barrel carburator ...

It will be great to see some more footage of the build.
Have you had your, car painted or had a fire yet up, we look forward to seeing it back on track.
Previous pics are fantastic keep up the great work.

Hi Stacey brothers I was wondering how the rebuild is going on the ex Jack Nazer Victor.
It will be great to see it racing again in its current condition or restored.
Nothing replaces the good old days keep it up.

Hi Rodger can you tell us all how the rebuild is going on the capri.
I remember this car well when it raced at
Ruapuna - Timaru - Wigram -

When it reappears it would be so cool if you drove one Capri & your son drove the other nobody else has ever do that before.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]10863[/ATTACH] This car had a relatively brief career. It raced for just three seasons. Yet, it won the New Zealand Saloon Car Championship twice! For those who saw it race, who felt the ground shake beneath its 600hp Chevy, and watched owner/driver Jack Nazer drag it by the throat ...

Great photo I remember Laurence having some photos of his cars on his office wall in Sydenham about the time of the first earth quake in Chistchurch.

Thanks Mike Fitzgerald for the great story cherishing the moments that touch our hearts It seems life can be full of unfortunate changes but lots of wonderful memories.

Automotive It would be so good if you could put some photos on or ask some one else to help you do so. Old stories & photos are ...

I think he had a narsty accident in the victor chev at Timaru in its early debut, after he bought the car as it went off the track crashing heavily.Did the victor have the engine out of the ex Dawson -- Haig camaro when Laurence owned the Victor. I see the car is now owned & raced by Tony Mann who ...

Did Laurence race a Chev powered Victor V8, after the black Camaro I think he was mates with Steve Dymond & Rob Kennard.

Laurence owned & raced the ex Spinner Black -- Rod Coppens -- Camaro which was sold to Bruce Jenner who drove & owned the yellow Ultra Service Station sponsered 68 Camaro from Timaru. Fantastic looking car with the same wide body flares as on the PDL mustang 1. Bruce Jenner sold the Camaro & went to ...
