Abandoned, Forgotten, Neglected, Race And Road Cars Thread

[AMCO72]

bry3500, this is what happens when you sell classic/expensive cars to mobsters, and brats like Justin Bieber. They buy them cos they can. When they go wrong, or they no longer match their latest hair-do, they ditch them and move on to something else.
These twerps shouldn't be able to buy anything more fancy than a Toyota Corolla.

Makes you weep to see these things abandoned. I guess some of them have been saved but of course this should never have happened in the first place.

You are obviously very interested in these poor forgotten machines as you started this thread a couple of years ago and have posted some really interesting stuff.

Cant say I 'enjoy' seeing these pictures but keep them coming.........keeps my adrenaline pumping!!!!!!

[Growler]

I just wish I was loaded so I can spend my days going around the world buying these cars and restoring/race them...

[RODERICK]

Hi I am new to this forum - name "Roderick Rankin" . The Dynafour design was originally discussed at Ted Thompsons workshop in Kumeu and the rolling chassis and 2 Lawrence Power motors were built up by Curley in collaboration with Ted Thompson, this was the car that ran at the Aka Aka sprint. As I had been present at the early discussions about the construction of the car and had shown an interest in the Dynafour Ted Thompson told me about the car being for sale, I purchased the car from Curley as a rolling chassis with the motors out of the chassis. On getting the car home we found that the motors could not be easily put back into the chassis. So myself and my close friend "Colin Beanland" of Bruce McLaren fame cut the chassis off behind the seat bulkhead and rebuilt the rear chassis and modified the suspension at the same time. The motors were then installed. The name DYNAFOUR came from the fact that the Lawrence Power motors were aircraft standby generator motors, generators being DYNAMO'S and there was FOUR cylinders, hence DYNAFOUR. Each motor (approx 500cc each) was a twin opposed air cooled motor, magnesium construction, overhead valve with twin spark plugs per cylinder, magneto ignition, dry sump with crank, big end, little end. rocker gear all running on needle bearings. The motors were coupled together, the rotation of one motor being reversed so that a chain drive sprocket was fixed to the centre coupling, this drive then went to an Albion motor cycle gear box (a weak link) from here the chain drive was to a sprocket on a fixed drive swing axle rear suspension. A lot of the running gear was Renault. The rack and pinion steering being centralized by using two small sprockets and a coupling chain. The timing and ignition system had been reconfigured by Ted Thompson so that one magneto fired a spark plug in each cylinder of the motor it was driven by and a spark plug in each cylinder of the other motor, the same happened withe the other motor/magneto. Each cylinder was fed by an Amal Carb, a challenge to tune. the motors in this configuration would rev to 16,000RPM. Quite a scream. The body was built one saturday when Colin and I took the car plus a sheet of aluminum to a friend of ours Ivan Cranch. Ivan cut the ally by eye and then we were on the end of a wheeling machine with the body ready to trim out by mid afternoon. The wrap around windscreen was formed by cutting a cardboard pattern then perspex, placing my parents CONRAY electric heater on its back in the garage and slowly heating the perspex while rocking it backwards and forwards until the correct curve was achieved, amazingly no distortion. The photos of the hill climbs were with myself driving and were both in the Pukekohe area of South Auckland. First Grand Prix at Pukekohe was cut short as going around the loop at the stables (old circuit) one motor starved of oil due to no baffle in the oil tank, at the revs being pulled there was a large bang with a con rod exiting the side of the crank case. The pieces of the crank case were welded into place by Jim Mcoslum in Newmarket (don't think I have spelt Jim's name correctly) with the other spares I had the motor was rebuilt and I drove the car at a number of club meetings painted Blue. The gear box was always a problem in selecting the correct gear but we had tuned the suspension so that the car had led well even to the stage of passing Jim Boyd in the Cooper Bristol coming over Rothmans at Pukekohe. The car was then sold on to my friend Garth Taylor ( the photo in the Vercoe book is myself driving not Garth). If anyone has any idea as to were the DYNAFOUR ended up or is I would be very interested to know. Rod Rankin. (not Robert )

[Oldfart]

Thanks for that Rod.
I remember looking at the car with an eye to buying it in Rotorua. I suspect that was 65 or 66. I could drive to the house pretty much central Rotorua still, but never saw it again. Memory tells me it was brown and had a 105e motor crossways in the back with the Dyna motors lying alongside. I asked a few people in Rotorua about the car just last week and there was no memory at all.

[John H]

For what its worth I remember this car. Four short exhaust pipes and I seem to remember it was a very wet day at Puke. Also a hill climb somewhere in Bombay? Chrs

[RODERICK]

Thanks for your comments. I would like to know where the DYNAFOUR ended up as I would be interested in obtaining what may be left of it, any help would be appreciated. 105E installation would have been a very good idea. Lawrence motors in the configuration they were in revved high but not a lot of torque. Cheers Rod.

[RODERICK]

Quite correct about the exhaust system I could not afford a fancy exhaust so what there was, was built up by a gentleman that lived in Otahuhu, can't rember his name now. Cheers Rod.

I presume this is the car. Must have been a Pukekohe Car Club Hill Climb around 1964/65(?) and a bit damp as you can see. Would this be quite early in its history, as body looks unpainted and no windscreen or mirrors. Must have been before permanent number plates (mid 65 I think).

I thought I had 1 or 2 pictures from Dave McKinney of the car on a trailer, but can't find them - maybe they were on a posting on this or another forum. I will search further.

Your method of curving the 'screen sounds a bit like how they bent the acrylic viewing tunnels for Kelly Tarlton's underwater place.

Hi just caught up with your post. Are you talking about the DYNAFOUR? Do you know if anything is left of it? Cheers Rod Rankin

[Oldfart]

Rod, if you go back through the relevant posts (yes it is the Dynafour or variations of that name) you will see that the apparent last known location was Rotorua in the mid to late 1960s. I have been back there to the house, no one knew anything. Possibly a rented house.

I would be looking at the triple carb manifold,and maybe a good Head - Raymond Mays one. My Dad had a Mark 111, as standard, and a mate of mine a Mark11, Zodiac with a twin choke Weber and the said Raymond Mays head, the Zodiac was at Walton,nr Matamata, back in the early 70's.

[Rod Grimwood]

Cedric Price had a Raymond Mays set up on his Z car in Matamata way back then.

Yea Kevin was thinking about the whole engine as maybe it has some goodies to go with those carbs hanging of it. See it also has extractors no hockey stick on this baby. The chrome cover was only for extra 500 rev's, same as Jo's shopping basket Mk4 Cortina wagon that you breathed on years back, quickest to supermarket and Roadrunner.

Trick in old days with Zephry was Bedford pistons etc, Kevin you would have played with a few of these beauties.

Yes true Rod, tried all sorts of things in those days, used to get em going pretty good, I was from Walton but cant recall that one, did you mean the cortina wagon that turned into a mangrove tree hugger, but that is another story isn't it Rod, bit slow getting home that night.

Ken, interesting as the " new " bonnet for the TR was from a wreckers yard Foreign Parts West in Eugene Oregon, shipped back to NZ in 1982, and even more interesting is when I sold the car [ in 1985 to help buy a house ] was to a Charles Matschek, an American living in NZ who went to University in Oregon and knew of the wrecking yard, it had a Jaguar XK 120 body as a sign on the roof, imagine that now, what would it be worth.

Ken,
Have had a problem changing my Avatar, and now settled on me in the TR, at Pukekohe, not on that hill.
Did you get the Hill photo in the Moss Motors mag ?? ,
and to your other comment Bondo.. lots, did you notice the curves over the headlights on the bonnet.. the car had been been pranged before, but, mechanicals were great, plus buying it from Russ Abbott, and joining the Auckland branch of the Triumph Club [ then the NZ TR Register ], gave me lots of help. had and oil pipe break on a Hill climb and Russ put a blanking plate on the sender to the gauge so I could continue to run.

Beautiful, love the filigree grille but mostly the late 30's Chevvy, Was offered back in the early 1970's a 1938 Four Door stovebolt 6, with a new paint job and rebuilt engine for $500 - was too much money at the time as had just bought a house and the mortgage was about 25.00 per week.

I would have to look at some old firewalls of Fords/Chevs etc to be sure of the coupe body, Ford ?), but that is a 289/302 Ford SB engine in post 325. Not too many Fords in Chevs, more the other way.

There are two of them, the second hidden by a boat and a container, so could not get a pic without alerting the owner. a couple of Boys who follow a forum Historic Rally Cars Australia, are interested, must talk to the guy about selling / donating them so they get used for parts or rebuilt, maybe one from the two..

There's a couple of those lying somewhat neglected after the passing of the owner around the corner from my place...

I might have to start adding to this little collection. One day I found a 6-pack Hemi 6 engine in a shed, well, the owner knew it was there... and in the paddock there was a bunch of stuff varying from a mid-forties Dodge ute to a Mk 3 Zephyr.

It has had a long history since 1947 when it was built by Des Herrick as a speedway midget with a B4 engine. Got a Hudson Terraplane engine in 1948 then converted to a circuit car in 1950 with a Model T rear end and a Bugatti box. Then got an A40 engine when the Hudson expired, then a Singer gearbox (when Chris Amon had it) ....... and on it went with each subsequent owner "improving" it. It still has bits of the 1947 midget but not much .... a bit like grandad's axe ....
