Wellington Street Race 1985
Has anyone got any photos of the Austin-Healeys that raced in the Classic car race at Wellington in 1985?
An article is being written about them and the writer would like some illustrations for it.
Thanks,
Ross Cammick

the first car is I think a Wellington car
One of the traditions at Rotorua was at the Motel, the party room was where the single guys were, (whether single - single or single as the wives [ WAGS ] had stayed home ) and a can Mountain was always built, to be taken down at the end of the weekend ..
Unsure what year but here are two photos I received recently from another AH Club guy.
no names are provided to protect the innocent !!.

After a bad experience at a Motel, I think the Kon Tiki, we superglued the cans together and instead of taking them down left them, as the Club made a decision never to return, the club had been at that motel many times, and got on well with the owners, the bad experience was with new owners, who had us spread all through the motel instead of all together, around 50 people or more, so we disturbed some guests.

AHCCNZ Classic - an early Rally, thought to be by the Wellington group
Photo provided by Jim Reece, his car is the 6th from left with the Chrome Wheels, thought it was Ross' photo hence the title, but Ross says not his, could be John Rundle who owns the first car [ left ] and was a photographer of note.
It would be around 1973 - 74.. from what I have been told.

the line up at the Gymkhana, includes my TR a Jaguar, Hillman Hunter, a Mini and some Healeys - just as well as was a Healey event. The Gymkhana was held up in the Mamaku's and organised by Phil Mules, whose other Healeys and Cobra have featured on this thread.
Am going to repost some Healey photos from the Telecom Motorfest thread to here.
That is the end of the 1980 Rally pictures.
*** as noted the White 100 reg no BH2270 belonged to Des Spillane from Temuka, and is the car a I travelled at one time, must have been at this Rally.

Finally have a copy of the results of the 1983 event, the only year I raced in my Healey 100/4..
I may have actually typed them up,so long ago !! as we sent them to all competing clubs after the event
These were sent to me by Stuart Short, whose Dad Jim Short got FTD that day.. Jim advised was the second running of the event .. other years including 1982, and 1984 - 1990 I was involved as a Marshall, when most of my photos were taken or in the last 3 or so years Organiser [ arrange the permit with Franklin County, while Reg Whittaker would speak with the locals on Maioro Rod,being the local School Teacher, and living in the next road Bothwell Park Rd, he knew them all, Reg also arranged for the " Long Drop " toilet that features in some photos.
Attachment 39745
Have a photo of Jim Short in the Porsche from Stuart, must find it
Just noticed the incorrect spelling of Healey at the top of the results .. grrr ..
