The Roaring Season

Yep same car, same Rego, [ although he did put the KH3000 plate on a Healey 100/4 back in the early 1980's to take it to a meeting ], same driver. then I looked at the recent photo the shroud is different and the roll bar, full windscreen back on -probably for eligibility. same vents in the side.

Here is the 100 with the KH3000 plate at a Healey club event - I think Napier in 1984.

These Motorfests ran for several years and used some of the roads that later were used for the V8 Supercars Hamilton 400.
Have placed them here but there are at least 20 photos, so maybe a new thread is required.

My Elf raced in one or two of these.

Bruce don't think there is an Elf, but will check the background and the pits photo's - more to come

Wow, these are great! I think the black Mustang is that of Rick Cooper, which is the car later raced by Mark Ross, Richard Gatward etc.

Whose is the XA Falcon hardtop?

Agree with earlier post #601. This might need a new thread.

ERC and others - have started a new post Telecom Classic MOTORFEST ; Steve is going to move some of the photos.

Guess we remember these ;


Carless Days from 1979 - was on that TR4A, so could use it on the weekends.

This one is an Auckland only issue ;



Lost money here, a whole 80cents .. early 1980's can anyone remember the date ??.

It says must be done by a " competent mechanic ". Mine went into my Sprite 1975/76 and that TR4A, 1978 - probably still there,
[ installed by myself, as you did ] . although don't know if there was an NZ standard back then ..??

Still unused on backing,ex reunion.

Ross, OK if I copy that sticker and put on BMC Boys "Ardmore Reunion " thread .? . collecting is a habit, honest but time consuming and takes up a bit of room, I have several Boxes of stickers programs badges patches car brochures form the 60's 70's Pit passes etc, plus too many photographs.

No problem.

Hey guys a shot from Lakeside today, there are 50 in total, posting here now, but will start a new thread, this one is for Spgeti and all the Alfisti out there.
a beautiful 105 ..

Just like my car and the same year Roger. Very nice.....

There was a step front racing as well, with the race # 105, not as tidy but a lot quicker.. heaps of Alfa's a Lancia or two and some Fiats, plus a couple of Ferrari's.. " Italian challenge series " , could not get a racing list though, so no idea who drove or owned what !!, sorry

Hopefully the natsoft website can provide the Lakeside entrants

Kevin Alelly's coupe

Mark- thanks for this info.
He and I raced together last meeting at Bay Park and then at Hamilton street race.
The Handicap race he was leading almost to the end- a tough field too.
I forgot his name, I even contacted Franks Tyres who sponsored him and they couldnt remember,
Usual question- what happened to Kevin and this car?
