John Rapley's transporter was stolen from Paraparaumu last night. It is a cream coloured "pop top" caravan rego number R970S. Inside was (and hopefully still is) his Brabham single seater.
If you see transporter and/or Brabham please phone the Police or John (04) 9024862.

Made it to the NZ Herald (with photograph) so hopefully, it can be recovered as it looks to have been a targeted theft.

Any news on this?
I hope it's all resolved, even if the caravan has gone.

I am still hoping that a good result might come out, as it did with Phil Sharp's Lotus Cortina. Roaring Season had a big part to play with that.
Any news?

Always love a happy ending...

However, with more work involved, it isn't all good news.

I hope the sentences handed down to the villains are appropriate.

A few years ago the Rennmax-Repco originally built for Doug Macarthur (and owned for years by the Gibsons) was stolen, taken from its trailer and driven on some rough-ish roads. Until it damaged the engine.

They do need to be treated severely.
