Thanks Roger and Grant,
I have to admit these are my two favorite photos from that selection.
1963 Wills Race. Pukekohe. # 1.jpg


1963 Wills 6 hour race. Pukekohe.The end..jpg


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.
