Didn't Len have something to do with that? I have his book somewhere, with all his designs and dreams. Roger

I think Gordon Fowell designed the car, body work was by Tom Boyce. I could be wrong however Rog

Yes it's the same Keith Yeats. He and his Dad (Keith Yeats Snr) built the car.

There has been other good things El and even Jamie will back that, especially the latest bit of beauty and the beast, but more on that later on another thread. Yep car was built in Rotorua, using numerous parts bought back from trip to States for season of Trans Am fun by some local lads. Hint the person in seat is not from Rotorua/Taupo, in fact along way from home.

If it was an open face helmet would we see a generous size soup strainer adorning the drivers upper lip?

No John, but he had got into car they would not have got him out. Pretty well known motorsport personality/driver, he had driven a Camaro before but little different to this one. (now that's shortened it down)
