He owned and race it for over 30 years. We have been lucky enough to have owned it for 6 years, It has a COD so we have made minimal changes to keep it as original as we can with just a few minor safety mods for MSNZ. With 3 Log books dating back to the 70's we have now just about filled our own including the incredible trip to Bathurst with Touring Car Masters NZ hitting over 285 kph down the Conrod Straight. But every chance we get to race is a good day. Massive Thanks go to: Crew 32, Mel (wife), Jesse, Riley, Tessa (Kids) and Spider, Aaron Walter, Grant Rivers and the enormous help we get from Rivers Speed & Spares, as well as Tim at Octane Automotive and Gary - Bodyworks Panel & Paint Greytown. Couldn’t keep it on the track without them. And obviously a big thanks to all the Touring Car Masters Family, a great bunch to share the track with...!
