The gentleman with the Suzuki was ..... Bish and he ran it at the original Taupo track and it was quick. It was white and green i know because I looked up the open Arse of it for a few laps. I think it had a genuine Yamaha race bike engine . A clever bit of work.

Yes thats right, 3 Algie brothers. I've still never seen the Monza. I wish someone could post some photos of it.

the monza was pretty much a road car but had the dekon body kit, and i think BBS wheels
Have a photo somewhere.
