OK, time for Part 2 of the epic Ross Cammick collection of New Zealand motor racing photos.

Part 2 focuses on rallying. It covers the mid 1970s through mid 1980s, from the rear wheel drive Escort dominated era, through to the incredible Group B era. The collection includes most aspects of the sport, from national rallys, right through to the New Zealand International Rally. The order of the photos is random.

Ross has tagged many of the photos and if you run your cursor over them, you'll get info on them. However, this is not the case for all, so please feel free to jump in and name-names.

Ross himself was involved, as a co-driver, and is featured in one of the parts in this collection.

Enjoy.

Roger....basically yes.I had a Jensen Healey here for a trim job, the owner said it was, but there were a few different things done.....apparently.....or did not want comparisons with a CF Bedford van-same 2.3 again.

The photo in post 61 is from Maramarua in 1973 and the only Skodas were driven by Laurie Evans and Morrie Chandler.

Hi Steve
Is there an opportunity to get an original of this photo of the Firenza. If there are any others I would certainly be interested in copies

Kind regards
