thanks Jac Mac thought you would know, yes clicked on Paul Kirk and Viva (must have been very new here)

Spgeti has it. Grady Thompson. That's good that the car is all well. It must have been a one off run.

She had 14 owners I think from memory before my then brother in law bought the car, circa 1979. 302 had gone and replaced with 350 and was no longer silver but red. It was the write up test car for one of the then magazines 1970. The sister car (white) lives down in the Manawatu to a good friend.

Is it a 'Corsair' or something like that name. Basically a Cortina but body shape rounded.
If so I will go for 1st guess at Jim Clark
Then again it maybe Alpha or ??? pass

Isuzu Bellet, think I read somewhere or saw pic of Leo Leonard driving one, always reckoned they would be good pre 65 basis, few more were raced in Aussie, maybe where this one comes from.
