Since I have this Monaro, my HT GTS Monaro is now not needed and will be selling it. Great for HMC, has tags. Will be listing it soon.

Hi John, here are a few new ones for your collection. Kindly sent to me by Mark Quertier, and originally taken by Ian Peak, as part of a large South Island collection from Ian which I'll be sharing here in the coming weeks.

Steve Holmes- these are simply beautiful. That would be the first time I have ever seen a colour pic of it.
Exciting to know that it will look like this again.
Its all thanks to this site-your creation- that all these photos are coming out of hiding.
What track are the first 2?
3rd is surely Wigram- his first time out.
Look forward to any more.

"3rd is surely Wigram" - almost certainly but interesting to see from this angle - not one I recall seeing before. How I wish I'd seen it in the day

Wigram days are sadly gone, drivers even more sadly gone, cars -except Clydes XW- are still with us.

These photos are at Teretonga, where stock trucks and tip-trucks were regularly used as bring-your-own grandstands. I recall similar stands at Ardmore along the back straight .
