Have many of my own shots but bought these from ODT when working in Dunedin for a couple of weeks and stayed there instead of returning home to Auckland.

Dunedin photos, as seen in Thompson's Dunedin book and also his 'Roycroft Years" book often had interesting things, like ships, in the background. Some years it was the Harbour Board dredge, sometimes a Caltex oil tanker, this time the good ship 'Almazniy' maybe another tanker. However I have only ever seen one picture with the Dunedin Railway Station in it, a very gloomy background shot. Perhaps in the 1950's it was very grimy from decades of smoky steam trains, not the present-day cleaned-up masterpiece of designer 'Gingerbread George' Troup - worthy of Monte Carlo at least. Are there any other pictures from the '50's?

Have had a look through the 40 or so photos I took, including the ERA sitting in a showroom, prior to racing, and lots of buildings at the port in the backgrounds, no railway station though.
Probably the set of photos is better in a separate thread, so will get to work and scan a resize the pictures.
As mentioned stayed the weekend in Dunedin, so had plenty of time to wander around, take photo's then during the next week, visit the Otago Daily Times - to get the B and W shots like The ERA and Minis and Jag's already posted.

That is it, I know the forum is a lot about Motor Racing/ Motorsport , but Hot Rods are just another part of the New Zealand Car scene..
If anyone does have the cards, would love to swap.. have duplicates of the first 5 shown, so need those numbers 5, 7, and 11,
Found some lost photos .. from 1966 to 1971 ..

Bruce, thanks for identifying the venue.
Growler Re; I did have some of these...somewhere. Weetbix did the same thing with smaller cards and a booklet. I have the whole set of Hotrods and the booklet at home...somewhere!!
I know the feeling and it has annoyed for a while that I could finds negatives [ old B & W ones ] but not the prints, well grey day here in South East Queensland today so went through a huge storage box of photos and found .. over 60 B & W's from 1966 to 1971, of racing and in the pits at Pukekohe, at least 5 different meetings as I wrote on the back of some .. just as well. and more colour photos from Ohakea Reunion meeting in 1982.
The Black and Whites are from April May 1966 meetings November 1967, Grand Prix 1968 [ Brian Foley and Mini etc plus some unknown dates and a few from 1971.
Included in the shots are the Morrari, Humber Jag, Johnny Riley Ford V8 Coupe, Stanton Corvette, Heron Daimler Sports Car, The #55 Mini Sprint - before and after the crash.
Think best to do them as a collection rather than here or Minis and Imps etc,
