I remember one of them being for sale on Trademe approx 7-8 years ago for about 35K, seems their value has gone up quite a bit since then!

There was another Group A Mustang that raced in NZ, a white one owned by Bruce Flemming. I wonder where this car is now?


When I rang Robbie Kerr in Wellington to tell him to come up to Puke and race I told him to get hold of Bruce Flemming along the way...citing that I had made the trip to Manfield to run against them as a bit of a push a long....they both turned up Robbie in the Green Muzzy and Bruce in the Police liveried car. Although Bruce ran in Group A his car wasnt as speced as Robbie and my cars. He didnt have the single nut wheels, on board jacks, dry brake fuel set up etc. So I dont really know what happened with this car ....does anyone out there perhaps know?? Thanks Steve.

The Mustang you are talking about has been owned by Steve Ross for a few years.I think it the Kramer / Davidson car from Australia?

I'm not sure how this car fits with the Mustangs being dicussed here, but it might help fill a blank in one car's history.

Think it would Robbie Kerrs car. Did a similar deal with NZ Racing Driving School at Puke back in 80s they had FFs and if the person wanted saloon drive then they would contact me and I would take car out, demo to person and then monitor them.
