Either car maybe the old Brent Adams saloon. Think it went to Rotorua. This would have been about 2000ish.

Spoke to one previous owner of a LRC Mustang that went up North. While he can't remember who he sold it too (was a few years ago now). He did say he saw it advertised in Dirt Track not long ago.

 Car we run for 2008. Driven couple times by Michael Pickens. Now owned by Neil Robertson in Christchurch. Memorable times, MP in a Super Saloon around The Glen. He went better with a plug lead off I thought |

Also the first car Lovelady built for Barry but I think designed by Jumbo Berryman. Raced as both 14c and 41c. Attachments:

The Doug Smith TV 3 car, info which may be incorrect and I'm sure will be corrected by someone with better memory than me.
After Dunedin went to Nelson-Taylor car?.Then to Kaitaia ,Murray Baker 34A, Macca 99A,Warick Taylor 67A.
Think it is now in the hands of some one up north who does the C.T.R.A. circuit.
My memories of the car, is that it was a poor cornering race car very prone to spinning out,had to be thrown into corners not driven round.Suited Macca's style.

The Taylor car that Murray Baker had as 34A was last running out of Kaikohe by a chap named Anthony Dale & is currently on Trade Me for sale. I think its number is 44K from memory.

Might have the ex Jenkins and the ex Smith cars mixed up. The Jenkins deal did go to Ron Taylor and went well considering it was an all coil set up. From there it did go North but had been knocked around a fair bit by that stage. |

As far as I remember the Bankier Cortina become the Mustang. So same chassis.
At the time it was rebodied, the Mustang's didnt run a straight 6.
It went thru SNZ and he was then allowed to run the 6.

HI new here though long time lurker . I have just bought this old saloon from up North. Has a Mustang body and now has a Ford 6 in It. Has a morris commercial diff and well set up back end . Anyone shed any light on it. Was told when I bought it was raced out of Kaikohe. Looks well built though may have had some alteration before. Attachments:

Thought it may have been the old Brent Adams Mustang. Going by photo it would seem not to be.
When John first built Doug Smith's car it had a Howe front end from Doug's Wedge car. And also leaf spring, closed tube rear end. Also from the wedge. Leaf spring rear did not last long until it was changed to open tube with torsion rear. Last I knew car was up North some place.

Thanks for that chuckie Cart originally had closed tube rear end and there is evidence of leaf spring pads on the chassis. IT now has torsion rear.I bought it out of Dargaville so had raced at Kaikohe. Dont know about the front end heres another pic of the front end Attachments:

the doug smith car we looked at and decided not to buy as the engine had been patched up.we rang mike ryan and talked about the engine then phoned doug and asked and the two stories didnt match up so we didnt get it.the car was sold to shane maaka and he raced it once i think then he put terry soper in the car and terry ran it.the engine came out and was sold to owen dickson and it blew up after a meeting.by now terry had his 360 chev on meth in the car and raced as a agrade.the car was sold minus motor not sure where to but was purple with flames on it and numbered  . |

From there it did go North but had been knocked around a fair bit by that stage. The ex-Jenkins car that sold to Ron Taylor was a Gorge. The Lovelady ended up with Mark Carey (now 11c Jason Phillips?). the Gorge was sold as a coil car, but I think it was Ron Taylor who converted it to torsion rear. I ended up with that car after it went to Stratford (Wayne Hall?), then BRT (they never raced it), then Rex McIllwrick (spelling?). Now floating around chch somewhere as an A-grade saloon (18c - he registered etc but never seen him there with the car) |
