Whose Capri (27) is HN1500, does anyone know.
Also the GEMCO..is the ex-Peterson or ex-Harvey as both ran the same GEMCO body ?
I paid for the Gemco moulds, and a few days later went to collect them. Gone. Are they technically mine still? (Not a serious question, but I was devastated at the time, especially when I had taken the airbox moulds and couldn't get that back from the borrower in Warkworth)
Ross,
You are a brave photographer. I hope you had a long lens on especially with that Escort van FK1199 looking to about fold it's wheel under and come at you out of control !
You take wonderful B&W photos. Thanks for sharing as they never get too old to look at.
Cheers,
Ken H
I don't think I was particularly brave at that location Ken as there was a strong wooden fence that circled the horse racing track between me and the cars. I was probably using my 300mm lens which is a moderate size. Down at the other end of the club circuit was more dangerous as there was nothing between you and the cars, but you just had to be sensible and aware. Not allowable in this day and age, hence only fairly ordinary shots are all that can be achieved unless you can afford massive lenses.Quote:

This car was originally imported into NZ by Ian Richardson and it was metallic blue. Bill Clouston purchased the car off Ian and painted it BRG as seen in the above photo. I think Jim Reece bought the aftermarket hardtop off Bill (or Ian). Usually you have to remove the soft top to get a Works type Mk 2 or 3 hardtop on (rare beast), but the aftermarket one went completely over the convertible top in situ. Not so attractive, but far more practical as removal of a convertible model soft top is a lengthy and fiddly job.
[QUOTE=BMCBOY;68497]Ross Thanks for the extra info - speaking of Bill Clouston - here he is at Jag Drag in 1977 at Meremere, I was there in my GT6 and Bill was in this ..Quote:
