New Zealand pre - 65's

Big race meeting at Pukekohe race track Sunday,one of the race groups was the pre-65's thought I'd upload some pic's to show the build quality of the cars.
this is the Anglia of Wayne Davies 1500cc

Richard Ross Anglia 1500cc

Ray Welten Ford Zephyr MK III 3600cc

Wow, the cars look well presented. The pre'65 Toruing car guys in Australia would be horrified though to see cars with advertising. Egads!!!

There were 29 cars on the grid,run on a handicap system,slowest timed cars start first and fastest last.It's good to watch the fast cars work there way through,if the handicap works out right they should all reach the finish line together.
Here's some more,Lorrin Mathews 1500cc Cortina

Lou bird's 1600cc Cortina

Albert Collier's Ford Falcon XP 4800cc

*DROOL* Those cars look absolutely fantastic! I only wish they were a little closer :(

great stuff . . . .the lack of tin worms must help preserve them over there . . .even if a racing life doesnt ;)

Superb stuff racing fxgt. I went to Goulburn NSW on the weekend for the historic meeting at Wakefield Park. Proud to say that the car prep there was also of a very high standard. Come over and check out the Aussie scene if you get a chance (next is Oran Park Sydney 25-26 Jan 03). Thanks again for the great images, that reminds me, I must scan in that shot of the twin cam/twin weber Lotus Cortina engine I have (now, that was a nice looking set up!) :beer:
