Brabham, Moss and McLaren were all back for 1960, the Kiwi fresh from winning the final world championship race of 1959 on December 12 at Sebring where Brabham secured the championship. Brabham, Moss and McLaren were all aboard current Formula One Coopers for the 1960 race. Starting positions were determined by preliminary races and Brabham started from the back of the grid after his engine climaxed. Moss was on pole with McLaren alongside, and it was the young Kiwi who got the jump at the...
Memories
Paul Hansen, owner of this magnificent Zodiac Mkll, definitely has fond memories of these cars during his earlier years. Whilst they never owned a Zephyr or a Zodiac, Paul remembers his parents' first car well - a 1952 Ford Consul which was his father's pride and joy. The Fcrd Consul was an excellent family car bur for Paul, then a teenager, it always seemed a bit under-powered. This proved the case when he endeavoured to do a 'wheelie' in dad s Consul only to unceremoniously break an axle, not...

TTf Spring Classic hail just five classes hur no shortage of enthusiasm and entertainment. The Apparelmaster got away to a golden start, with round rwo dominated by the yellow and orange trio o' Brent Middlemiss in his sprightly Mini 1275GT, Sheridan Broadbent Valiant Pacer and David Tolhurst's less than mellow yellow Capri GT. Large grids continue to show series strength. A small but competitive field of Historic Racing and Sports racing cars tended to break up into well-matched pairs and as...
End Of An Era
Sadly, 1962 would be the last featuring the eternal triangle - Surtees and Salvadori returned, while Lorenzo Bandini made his only visit to New Zealand Nora bad field by normal standards bur weak compared with that of the previous year. The Kew Zealand International Grand Prix at Ardmore had been held in the first fortnight of January for the previous eight years in typically warm New Zealand summer conditions. The big race of 1962 was due to start at 2pm and coincided with a cloudburst for...
First Ford In F1
It all went wrong from the start when Bruce McLaren decided to woo the Ford Motor Company into Formula One back in 1965. Ford in the US did a friendly deal on a handful of its huge quad-cam 4.7-litre Indy V8 engines which were to be tooled back to 3.0 litres for he new formula by Traco Engineering in 1966. It was a disaster. The engine made the most incredible exhaust noise when the new car made its debut at Monaco, but that was about it. Minimal performance. Bruce couldn't have known that...

Tony Richardson of Mataura is not the usual petrol head. Although he lives works, and breathes motor vehicles and owns a collection of 11 of them, he is also the leader of the Mataura Scout Group. Last year he thought of a way to celebrate the motor vehicle and at the same time raise some badly-needed funds for the scouts. While the Mataura Scout Group also conducts a 4WD rally in early winter, Tony wanted something different - and thus the 'Motoring Mad Motor Show' was conceived. The event was...

January 1911
One hundred years ago the inaugural Ivionte Carlo Rally or 'Le Rallye International de Monaco' was described as a bit of a soft affair. As far as we can ascertain this is in the narure of a 'go as you please competition for motorists' said The Autocar. Nevertheless the original organisers, lawyers Gabriel Viabn and Lucien Le Boucher, along with the president of the Sporr-ing Club of Monaco, Alex Noghes, couldn't have foreseen what they were starting when the first iMonte got under way on...
Typical Rural Community Spirit
It has been four generations of the Northcote family since the Highfield shed operated at full capacity, but it happened again on Saturday October 23, 2010, as part of the Back to Waiau celebrations. In an immense effort, the Norm-cote family and an organising team led by Greg Moriarty returned the shed to full operation to shear in two hours the 1120 sheep supplied by David and Rebekah Kelly of Woodchesrer, a sheep station on the nearby Leader Road. Back to Waiau celebrations were initially...
Ron And Ross
Ron Roycroft and Ross Jensen shared one thing in common both were at their best behind the wheel of a high-powered racing car. However, apart from their keen competitive edge, Ron and Ross had quite different characters Ron was your quintessential Kiwi specials racer, a real motor sport pioneer, whereas Ross was much more urbane and sophisticated. Its fairly common knowledge that Roycroft wasn't Jensen's biggest fan. As far as Ron was concerned, Ross was a Johnny-come-lately who eschewed the...
