Yep you are right on the dot there Steve. I had the original car that Bruce and Wayne got from Aussie. (which just sold for telephone numbers) This is a Hopper built car that they used as a second car I guess and Rex Findlay owned this (replica). Wayne put this one onto its roof doing a practice session at Manfield just Prior to Wellington Street race.....then Graeme Addis was looking at "buying a drive" in the B & H and wrong slotted the Getrag gearbox and spun into flaggies post at Railway Corner at Pukekohe causing major damage. However, my car got restored by Ken Hopper and sent to Aussie ....later to be sold for big bucks and then Ken got the job of restoring this car and sending it back as well. Ken has made a very good top resto on both these cars and that is why I guess they command such a high price..... Regards, Tony Rutherford.
