The Roaring Season

That is interesting stuff Myles,what a shame the Le-Mans Blue No 52 was lost in a road accident but how lucky are we to still have the gorgeous Hugger Orange No 33 alive and well and to see Bob sharing it with the public........job well done!

Regards Pete

Hi Dave No I think it was the other way ,you being the brave one ,I must say it used to sound fabulous going up Symonds street in third gear Unfortunately I now have arthritis in both shoulders as a result I am sure. Graham

Hi guy's, saw this thread and thought i'd add a couple more for your viewing pleasure



1954


1966


1970

I have a 1967 NZ price list which shows my Fiat Abarth 695SS (hot Fiat 500) as being a similar price to a Cooper S. Needless to say they only sold one of them. Things have changed as I understand they have sold a handful of Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari ( modified new 500) models in NZ at $79,900 which seems a horrendous amount of money for a small Fiat.

These are from the first world war ...... pt1

Hey Gazza, thanks heaps for posting these, just awesome! I particularly love the Bob Jane and Norm Beechey ads.

Thanks Steve, i'll see if i can dig a few more up for you

Here are a couple of desirable cars that were for sale in early 1959.

One wonders what happened to the Felgates of 1974 and did such expressions of wealth really help sell spark plugs. Now days if people want to promote themselves they just go on reality TV

sorry about quality scanners on the blink
