This might be February 6th 1983, but it has to be a guess.

Now to the frustrating Pukekohe meetings, where dates are so difficult. Are these three all on the same date? I'm guessing December 11th 1983 - but I could be way wrong. It could well be much earlier, even as early as February 1983, as I obviously wasn't flagging, or much later say 1985, when I went just once as a spectator, with my wife to be.

This one could be December 11th 1983 as 24 and 8 tie in with the programme.

Graham McGregor in the Continental Car Services Golf GTI #2 was in the Sports Sedans & Clubmans Saloons on March 27th 1983 and Geoff Welson in the Avenger GLS #57 was in the Production Super Car Series on the same day but they don't appear in the same race in the programme. From the Motoring News report of that meeting it seems there was some mixing of the two classes but I can not confirm that.
Tony Alderton E49 Charger #49 was entered in the Production Super Car races on March 27th 1983.
I guessed right! Thanks again Milan. I did have it down for December 11th. Looks as though Veen Smith hadn't graduated to the Commodore!
You might also have sorted the March 27th meeting.
This is from a pile of Dad's stuff, but I have zero details as to when or where. I doubt I will ever know.

I'm a bit of a theme park junkie and the 'Tram Tour' at Universal Studios has always been a favourite. There is a section of the tram ride that passes a display of cars from the movies and TV, hence the Ferrari, September 2018.

My first saloon - following on from the 850cc minivan. I bought this as a modified twin carb 850cc mini that had obviously been well built as it went surprisingly well. I owned it twice.
Sold it to get married. Stupid boy... Bought it back again just over a year later after that marriage failed, before moving on to a 998cc Cooper.

The most boring aspect of Goodwood, bar none. With just 20% of the paying spectators watching as Nigel Fotheringham-Ffoulkes tries to out out-pedal Amanda Twitterington-St John, 80% of the spectators around the track, who have in many cases travelled hundreds (or even thousands) of miles and paid huge money to watch some motor racing, have nothing at all to look at other than damp tarmac, as not all areas have a big screen. This annual farce takes place on the Saturday AND Sunday. If you are at the outer reaches of the track, there isn't even a classic car park to wander around either.
A total waste of time, but if you do have a decent vantage spot at the fence, you daren't leave it to go and grab a bite to, eat as the crowds in popular spots are huge and a prime spot has to be retained at all costs!

1978. My best pal since the age of about 8, went through a marriage break up and the house proceeds were split, so first he opted for an MGC GT - which I thoroughly enjoyed as a passenger, or driving. It wasn't long before he upped to this Lotus Europa. In the background is my then lodger's Lotus Elite.
