John Morton was indeed a local NZ driver and not the more well known American John Morton.
Also, great find Jesper for those Wellington photos.
The second Commodore VK SS is in several photos including this one: http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...t=IMG_0005.jpg
I still need to confirm the drivers. I can't quite make out the names of either driver on the windscreen banner. I do remember this car was rather slow, so it was probably pretty standard. |
I tried to read to read the windscreen logo too and came up with "Wilkinson" for Wayne Wilkinson, but only to find out he was already racing a 635!

This photo suggest it started 20th with the non-qualified Volvo in 21st.

The VW was probably Graham McGregor's car.
I have a vague memory of a guy called Ian Schuler driving an Isuzu Gemini - the car in your photos may be the one.

Were these cars Group E production cars?

#34 likely the Chris Heyer Audi 5+5 (80 2.2 to Europeans). It seems to be quite well equipped in the tyre department for a car having just above 170 bhp.

The Ray Gulson GTV6? and Bruce Anderson/Dick Johnson Ford. As already mentioned the Gulson Alfa was white for the 1986 edition (ANZ sponsored?) but mainly ran the black, yellow and red colours of Dulux for 1985 and 1986.
