Hi all,

I congratulate the founder of this website that I often read.

I'm a new member of The roaring season and I'm living in Switzerland.

I've recently bought a Lotus 22 from NZ with a fantastic history. I received with the car the customs document dated on 29 November 1963.

We know that the first owner of the car was Jonathan Williams from UK who raced in Europe in 1963 with this Lotus 22. I have the list of the races he done.

Then, Jonathan sold his car to a NZ person and we know that it was Rory Levis who placed several advertising in magazines to get quickly a Lotus 22. We found this information in Jonathan Williams's book : Shooting star on a prancing horse.

My objective is to have a maximum of informations like pictures and races that this Lotus have done during his life in NZ. I only found the races done by Rory Levis in 1963.

I found several owners of this Lotus on the original customs document. The car stayed in NZ from 29 November 1963 to March 2016.

The list of the owners after Rory Levis :
- Southward Engineering (Lower Hutt) : 1964
- John Charles Wilson (Parnell) : 1965
- John Norman Littler (Papatoe) : 1967
- Peter Sony Ransom (Lower Hutt) : 1967-68
- Kelvin Cameron (Dunedin) : 1968-69
- Murray Bugler (Picton) : 1969 -78
- Kerry Rout (Christchurch) : 1978 - 2012

I hope you could help for my researches ans I thank you in advance for your support.

Kind regards from Geneva !
