Historic Sport Sedans

Not the best pic, but it is from early days- colour scheme, no wing, air dam.
Surely this is BayPark, and everybody enjoying another hot day in the office.
Any leads on the blue car?

Blue Camaro is John Osborne in the ex-Spinner Black/Rod Coppins/Bruce Jenner etc Camaro.

Awesome pics John.

Is it time to now start a new thread for the upcoming season or races or even just the class?

[John McKechnie]

Title says it all, when and where it started and who its about.

[crunch]

Yes it is Crunch, the Torana was the ex Roy Harrington car.

I wonder where that car went?

[seaqnmac27]

Crunch, I think that story is in the Lost Cars thread. I vaguely recall something about the panels being in a garage in Auckland, but I might be mistaken.

[Parnelli]

I wonder where that car went?

I believe the car sat outside for some years with the resulting rust taking its toll on the shell. The exterior fibre panels were removed and saved , and what was left was dumped.

[John McKechnie]

Steve Matich had it sitting at his place for a while, didnt even know what was really going on with it, wasnt even offered it.
He told me body was rough, restorable now, but noone cared then. Was dumped.,he remembers well that it is dead, deceased buried
Grady Thomson first raced this when new for the first couple hundred miles, road test in Autonews. Raced by quite a few.
Correct about front guards- safe in some ones garage in Auckland- will not say location.

Would anyone have any info on this- could be Whenuapei?
nzeder will be pleased - there is a Datsun Z racing here.

Definitely Whenuapai Wings & Wheels 1984. Numbers tally with programme, and from a few indistinct photos I took!

Datsun Z #432 is one D.Meadows. There were 3 other Z's in entry plus a whole bunch of Ferraris that year, plus Morris's ERA and Whitehouse Cooper-Bristol.

Late Dave McKinney's NZ Motoring News had a double-page report of the W&W - remember when we had real motor magazines you could pick up and read?

Here's an old home video I dug up on this wet weekend. Puke 1991/92 season.

Looks funny shape, but colour is similar to Mr Cullinane colours maybe not best photo angle.

[Rod Grimwood]

Yep that's the colour , just looks bit odd in other photo.

I'd love a photo copy/scan of that programme if possible Stu, as I took a small number of pics, but as mentioned earlier, didn't see any racing. If I'd known my ex was going to walk anyway, I would have gone to the race meeting as a flaggie!

yep when Aussie boys came over for a play, the red white Supra was original Monza. Allard was other trying to remember others, Jag was grouse and quick.

Would also be interested in any photos of an Anglia (light blue) at this fun day if any of you people have any.
Got asked by official if it could keep wheels on ground, but it was hard to train. Anyway that's how Anglias grew up, so who was I to tell it off.

Oh wow, that is cool to see. Thats the year the four Aussie teams raced in NZ against the four NZ teams. I think they only ran the North Island tracks? Could be wrong about that. The Aussies were Bryan Thomson in a Jaguar XJS, Kerry Bailey in a Chevy V8 powered Toyota Supra, Des Wall in a Chevy V8 powered Toyota Supra, and Jeff Barnes in a Chevy Monza. The Wall Supra was the former Bob Jane Monza which was later converted to the Toyota when owned by Bryan Thomson. The Jeff Barnes Monza was the DeKon 1001, which was bought by Red Dawson in 1975, and which he had his big shunt in at Manfeild in 1976.

Cool stuff.
