Zephyrs fast and not so fast !!
Attachment 30171
My Dad had one of these in 1963, when I was 16.. not this one though !!
This was my Dad's one, bought new in 1963 through Briscoe and Company - the original business Hardware and Ironmongers and the New Zealand agent for Michelin tyres - not that we had any !.
The Zephyr on its original plates - later was BL927 - was sold in 1968 and replaced by an Austin 1800 - Dad loved Austins - the Zephyr was his first of two Fords - the last one a Mazda clone a Festiva in the 1990's

Chris White and a Health Incident in the Healey 3000
Chris White, from Wanganui [ Whanganui if being PC ] ran his Healey 3000, one of many Healey's he has raced from Sprite to 100/4 the 3000 and a Jensen Healey.
Chris had a heart scare while driving and just slammed to a halt at the roundabout corner. I was standing with Barry Moon of Escort and Healey racing fame, and my 10 year old grandson, when Chris just stopped as he had collapsed must have put his foot on the brake in time. This is some minutes afterwards when the Paramedics have arrived and are working on him.
He well and truly survived which was great news for all.
That is Barry standing the grey shirt red cap between the Marshalls, I stayed with my Grandson as the incident was quite disturbing.

The event was run for several years by Hamilton Car Club with much support, Laurie Brenssell was a prime mover.
Laurie has recently published some of his own photos of the events and the programme covers.
I only kept my Phonecard Ticket, which still has the $5.00 on it - the cost was $20.00
