Number Plates, Car Registration Stickers and Warrant of Fitness stickers..
Putting this request here as is about the 1970's. there is an inquiry on Facebook that I am following
" So if a 1940 American style truck was around and about in 1967 would the truck then have a 1967 plate as I understand it back then a plate was issued each year and it was 1964 that the black and silver plate as we know them as came in? ". Plate was of course not issued each year but the Rego Sticker was, and the warrant 6 monthly.
A Lady has the above truck - presume a light / pickup truck, so on a Private Registration.
from my memory in 1967, the year I got my first car Warrant Stickers were White with Black printing and handwritten details of the vehicle put on in either Black or Blue pen..Ballpoint pens had hit the market in the 60's ..
Licence Plate seen in this picture are Pre- 1967 when permanent plates were being issued - from 1964 to 1966;

Warrant of Fitness sticker on the vehicle .. looks like an American 1940's style vehicle
These would be newer than the 1960's - look more 1990's to me .. none of my photos show enough detail ..

The photo of the advertisment "FORMULA V DEVELOPMENT" The photo used by Ken McQueen Motors in the Add was
taken by Jack Inwood for "Motorman Magazine" at a track test for an article published in the January 1968 issue of
Motorman... The photos used in the add is being driven by the Editor of Motorman Don Anderson.
Ken McQeen motors sponsored the "Ike Vee" for the 1967/68/69 season and used the chassis design as the basis for the subsequent
McQueen Vee. Ivan Berry was supplying the bodies, seats and windscreens for the McQueen Cars.
Some other memories.......
Peter Bruin ...Bright yellow Cooper Vincent was always competing ..... Dark Blue overalls - Red Helmet!
Ken Flashman... Went on to drive a Formula Vee for Lynn Motors in a "Rebel Vee"...... Ken was unfortunate to damage his hand badly in the intake fan of the VW motor. "
Re ; Ken Flashman - built the Mini-Max, which both he and later Ross Hollings raced and Hill Climbed - there is a photo of Ross in the car at Cosseys Farm, Drury on the Northern Sports Car Club thread.
IKE, as the event was an NSCC event - am posting the details there too.
Thanks so much for the information

Booklets and Books .. from the 1940's to the 1980's
Just reading Ken H's introduction to this thread ;
" I found another box of "stuff" that I had dragged back from Kiwitahi to California and although some of it has been presented before I feel one can never get too much of the racing history from the 50s and 60s etc. Some of the old Ardmore programmes give a wonderful insight to who,what and where some of the drivers and cars came from.
I used to cut out pictures from the NZ Herald and Weekly News and put them in scrapbooks and I wanted to share some of that also and encourage anyone else to share what they may have "tucked away" from this era. "
My growing up [ haven't stopped yet !! according to ' her indoors' ] must have been similar, cutting out articles and acquiring motoring " stuff " which is now considered memorabilia.
I have an "Accounts Ledger " that my father put together in the late 1940's - cuttings from UK magazines and NZ papers of various Car Road Tests stuck into the Ledger - it must have rubbed off.
As mentioned on " Old Tracks " a wet day here, so have been editing photos that I took recently of some of my " memorabilia " while going through my Archives - Two large boxes of stuff,plus a bookshelf that all live in the Garage along with around 300 of my Scale Models and few metal signs.
A couple of Books with the NZ connection .. and my part of a set of Le Mans books by Brooklands ;
