The Roaring Season

Ken H - you should qualify for the Long Distance Award and Steve should send you a copy P and P free.

Mac -your question - No the Zephyr Corvette - the Coppins Car is not in this book.
There are stories on 18 cars in it.
The photo shots in the first few posts by Steve show all 18
[ 3 at a Post ]
- so Steve has room for at least a couple more books..We are hoping..

Here is a car that could appear in one the next book(s)..There is mention that a South Island Book would be good- as an ex-Jafa, now in the Bop maybe the next two books could take an Island each to be fair to us all - just thinking

Recently restored [ 2014/15 ] the ex Briggs ex Leversedge and others Briggs Mercury Special.
Photo from restorer and current owner Steve Day.
Could be a bit of a feature on the car on my Dunedin thread, after I have finished the Jim Bennett stories.

A Monochrome shot and in colour - as Steve's photo is. The photo from the Nelson Mail of Peter chasing Wally Darrell ACE in the Briggs Mercury in the 1960's at Tahuna.
Looking up the Graham Vercoe Book " Historic Racing Cars of New Zealand " rather than " Historic New Zealand Racing Cars " of Steve Holmes - the Briggs Mercury gets only a small 2 paragraph mention and no photo..

Steve I also heard your interview on RNZ National on Sunday morning and wanted to commend you on how you came across.

I am not sure if anyone at NZ Classic Car is reviewing the book but I will be happy to - I will enquire.

Well done - I have a little knowledge of what is required to put a book together so top marks!

Hi everyone, thanks so much for your kind words about the book. I really appreciate it. I definitely couldn't have done it without the great contributors to this forum.

Thanks also to those who gave feedback on my radio interview with Jim Mora. Its a bummer nobody told Jim how much time we had, and it was cut short just as I'd started talking about Bruce McLaren.

Would you happen to have any of these still available that you can sign Steve?
