Wow, these are beautiful! The Riley Anglia Olds shot is epic! One of the best I've seen of this car.

Wow these photos take me back to my teenage years . These guys were based in a Nissan hut in Miramar Nth just sth of the entrance to the old Shell installation. I watched these two cars being built , the Anglia /Chev was called "Brutus"?, they along with Bill McPhersons FJ Holden were my introduction to full size motorsport ,me being an active slot racer at the time with Bills brother. Mr McRea was in a single car garage just around the corner in Stone St I believe it was.

Not really an allcomer but John Mines (JRM sport car builder) in Cooper S powered Fiat 500. Looks like Houghton Bay Road. Clever car builder. Had the motor sitting across where the rear seat would normally be.

I remember this car well. Johnny used to try it out down Portage road extension. I lived at the Abattoir house and used to race across the paddocks to watch along with Graeme Harvey in the Elfin. Johnny
tried it down the Southern M/Way south and at 138 mph found the Tip Top corner just a tad too sharp.Came through Ok as the M/Way finished then at Otahuhu He said only he and the laundry man knew how scared he was!! He later became our neighbour in Papatoetoe and I followed both he and Brett in their racing. Got to know him very well and loved some of the left field cars he had at his sale yard in Otahuhu.

Cheers Dave

Interesting cars there ; The Allardette, was a Sydney Allard modified Anglia, and I see Colin Lumsden in " that De Soto Spl ", that had all sorts of modifications over several years,a big Car . a huge variation in capacity too !! 1350 cc to 5000 cc that was NZ saloon racing. The Jennings Spcl, was that a Fiat Topolino pre-war with a rather large 6 cylinder motor ??
Milan,once again your archives are amazing, thanks
