I remember him racing a Charger in main production, and being relatively successful for a lot longer than he probably should have been as the opposition updated. The Capri was that a McDonald or something similar Mc?
The Capri was Bill McFarlane from Dunedin. The Capri was a UK Group 1 car originally bought into NZ by a English gent whose name escapes me, was run in the South Island Production Series by him for a few years, then purchased by Bill.

in above photos The Mk1 Escort No. 20 Robert Van Gisbergen (Cheese) and the Anglia 64 is myself. The monday after this meeting the escort was in my care and remains there today. The Anglia was handed to my brother and then Brian Friend and that was the last i know of it. Anglia was a neat little bit of fun.

Capri is Terry O'Brien from Paeroa. It had 302 in it and was quick. It was later painted red. Terry put the engine in a jet boat at some stage.

Thanks again Nigel, wonderful photos. Rod, did that Escort of yours ever go in a straight line?
The Cortina of Steve Vigurs is the old Clyde Collins car, sadly long since departed this earth. Don Grindleys RX7 is still rotary powered there, before he fitted with Buick V6. Boy did that motor have some lungs!

So the Vigurs Cortina is the same car as Bruce Bellis ran?
When did it get the Weslake headed Chevy?

Yep, thats right. I think the Chevy appeared when Bellis had it. Collins had a Mustang motor in the car.
