Using the usual media accreditation Nigel. You could be OK to do the same, as I thought the new MSNZ system didn't come in until Sept 30th? Check with HRC.
Added: Sorry, the MSNZ system is already in.
Had to do a page for MG... Number in the system (without my Magnette) 1780.

Den Williams' underrated very rare MG Maestro turbo.
Attachment 67643
M for Maestro - Drove an Austin Maestro in the UK in 1988 - the guy we stayed with was a Car Dealer, in Southern Scotland and he bought the car at Auction in Glasgow - we went in this car, so someone had to drive it back to Parton, near Castle Douglas and Lockerbie. the one and only drive. There can't be many in NZ now or even back in the late 1980's !!
I had 2 MG Montego EFis and 1 Montego Turbo. Apart from Den's car above, I have never seen a Maestro in NZ. We rented a Maestro in the UK either 1987 or 1990. Loved 'em all.
I did two races, a hillclimb and a sprint in the EFi. Apart from a soggy head lining, great cars. Still the most comfortable of seats for long distance too.
M - for Morris (probably more M's of British cars in the system, than any other...)

Sitting at home now, early Sunday afternoon, in bright sunshine... It wasn't quite like that when I left Hampton Downs. Couldn't stay too long as I had to be back to hand over some sales on Trade Me, so hopefully, the weather also cleared down at the track.

ERC, Love the Riley Moth, FHY100 - Where was the photo taken ??
See the Elf for Spgeti too !!
Come from a Riley Family so thanks a lot for them all !
Riley Moth at Leadfoot, 2019.
Wish I'd never sold my RME Riley, but back then, I had neither the skills nor the facilities to restore it - and I was skint and needed the money.
Now I have the facilities and the money - but still don't have the skills.
Probably an affinity through Raymond Mays and the 'White Riley' which led to the ERA.
That is the Hawthorn Riley. This picture is from a 1951 Motorsport magazine.

Ray,
Does that last photo mean going "flat out" down the street ? :)
Very good Ken! Taken in St Petersburg (the Russian one) in 2014, not Sydney.
