Adrienne is Neil Doyle's wife (maybe former not sure) Neil's current whereabouts is from memory Mayfeild inland from Ashburton, in Central Canterbury. 018 may be able to supply you a current phone number, or maybe contact Adrienne direct with a private message on Facebook. Failing that PM Alan Dick of Auto News/ Classic Driver fame on Facebook.

There is also a J Doyle near Mayfield which may be a connection or would know the answer to the question.
My boss would be thrilled to know I am looking up NZ information while at work !
Perhaps I will make Neil a customer. I drove him once around south London in 1973 along with Graham Donaldson in the trusty Morris Minor.

Unfortunately Roger's suggestion was a fail. No replies from the Ashburton white pages suggestion I had tried often.

Hey Grant,
I found this bit of misinformation in a "MotorSport" review of the 2015 Phillip Island Classic event.
" John Gale’s ex-Tim Schenken F1 Surtees-DFV TS9B (which fellow Aussie Neil Doyle subsequently raced with Chevrolet power in F5000) "

Cheers,
Ken
