The Graham McRae - Maserrari - a Sports Car from the 1960's
One of the first cars built by Graham McRae - a couple of photos from 1962 have emerged and I found one in the 1963 Shell Book of New Zealand Motor Racing - the review of the 1962 -63 Season.
The car was restored and raced in the late 1980's and early 1990's - according to the last two photos [ one from Ray Green, dated 1989, has probably appeared on another [ his own ] thread.
Milan Fistonic also had a photo of the car from 1994.
The 1962 photos from Brian Faulkner archives with the month and year on the image.
