Thanks Roger and Grant,
I have to admit these are my two favorite photos from that selection.

These two must have seen a lot of car deals in their day with Ray's agency and Tony had successful
dealerships not only in NZ, but also Hawaii and California with BMW and probably more that I am not aware of.

Correct John was a larger than life fellow who came from Pukekohe ,vary instrumental in getting the Pukekohe Car Club up and going in its formative years as a point of interest I worked on that car that year
