Here are some cars that ran in the Kiwi Sports Sedan class at Manfeild Oct 98. As I do not have a program from this event I am unable to identify some drivers.

I have a feeling, the yellow RX3 of alan Montgomery, started life as Alan Grices "Craven mild" car. Not sure if he still has it, but had a feeling it may be back in Aust.

Car is running but needs glass and bars etc fitted.New period sympathetic FIA compliant cage just fitted by Paul Morris Motorsport as well as engine cover.I have the original Logbook and full documentation.I have spent over $80K on this project and as I am not going to race again I would sell it for $40K.Car is at PMM Gold Coast.Kindly PM me or call+61 (0)433112599 for further info on this Historically significant Sports Sedan.Thanks.

At last,- as promised -Barry Algies Monaro is featured in the latest Australian STREET MACHINE magazine, February edition.
Hoping it would make the front cover,it didnt, you will find it page 112-118
However great pics from at Hampton Downs, and a great advertisement for Historic Sports Sedans .
It takes a special car to be there , and thanks to Street Machine for wanting this iconic NZ car featured
Also extra special thanks to Andrew Metford and Scott Campbell- Fast Parts- for helping this photo shoot and article to come together.
