With Clubs like HISCONZ and Waikato's Golden Oldies has any one restored any Saloons ?
The Saloons have been such a big part of NZ'z Speedway History and wouldn't it be cool to see a few the history makers back in action.

Have often thought how good it would be to see some of the old saloons, from my memory of WP there were the likes of the Monaco 100 Monaro, Geck and Bennet Falcons, Whale Charger, Pellow Bros Escort, Humpries MG, Wright Monza, Millen Mazda difficult to fine steel bodies of some so perhaps sub-class early space frame and set up with fibreglass panels just to get the look.
