Assuming this fits with Milan's programme posted above, possible Ian Capewell?

More of the Bill Leckie Capri, again from the 1976 season, and then in its later 1977 guise, as it was best remembered.
The 1977 photos show Jim Richards at the wheel at Pukekohe following a mechanical failure with the Sidchrome Mustang at an earlier event. Bill was still suffering from the burns he'd received when the car caught fire at Manfield a few weeks earlier. The Capri had been repaired, Richards had no car, the rest is history. Richards actually broke the outright Saloon Car lap record at this event.

Many years ago I wrote a piece in Classic Car about the Leo Leonard vs Allan Moffat battles at Bay Park in December 1975.
I interviewed Leo and it was a delight just to hear his modest description of what he had to do - and where to put the Mustang - in order to win. And he was a Moffat fan as well!
Great day at Bay Park. Ross, you're a legend.

Rod McElrea's wicked Cortina OSCA at Pukekohe. Originally built by our very own Jac Mac. Last I heard this car was being restored. Anyone know its progress?

It was Roger. Had the number plate MyZ/28 and was painted red with red stripes. I have know the car since 1979 and found it in New Plymouth after the guys in Te Awamutu sold it. Helped to restore it but sadly ended up over the ditch.

Yip thats the one, cant recall his name but he had a wrecking business. I doubted his story initially, as I had Fahey as a ford man. But clearly he was correct. Cheers
