I'm hoping you or Rowan can fill in the details and histories etc of the Australian Monza's in the Monza thread just started Myles: http://www.theroaringseason.com/show...ies-And-Photos
There must have been nearly as many raced in Australia as there were in the US?
The Whincup Monza, sorry but I know nothing of its history.

Very nice images there.
Lusted after Bob Stewarts mustard Gordon Kebble for years. Rob Bartleys OSCA Cortina
Thats a car that came and went very quickly and never lived up to its potential. I think Bruce Robertson might have had some involvement with it too. Bruce was a very successful stockcar driver for many years, and raced the first Tank. He is now the promoter for the Palmerston North Speedway.
this was another interesting short lived project
Rotorua built and still around down south way i believe.
Good old days at Taupo. The original track. Jones Commodore, Brennan Escort and Willis Mazda. All Chev powered. Good racing.
Hey Rod, this last batch is fantastic! Do you have any more of Brennans Escort?
The Lancaster Volvo had some European history to it didn't it? What happened to this car? Seemed to have come and gone pretty quickly.
