Peter Rees picture request (Read 2,043 times)

Hi all

I've recently been fortunate enough to be given the 5p Panthers bonnet off Peter Rees last down the middle car by Peter Rees himself.

Unfortunately his signature came off when I washed it, but I'll see about getting that redone.

I'd really like to see a picture of the car it came off, does anybody have any?

Cheers

Pete

You will be gutted Slidey - think this bonnet might just be off the car that did one of the iconic drive of teams champs.

Here is the in car - it looks like from this seat at ain’t no thing, but you see in the race Pete looks like the last panther going - and has 4 Rotorua reveals to contend with. The video makes it look easy, but what you don’t see when he is punting the blockers out of the way is one of the reveals on his tail the whole race - one mistake and he was getting drilled, and losing the race



Part two from the stand

You need to watch the video again mate . At a couple of stages there was an R car on his tail but most of the race Rees was running well ahead of any R cars. No way there an R car on his tail the whole race .
Part that stood out for me was Rees passing R cars on the outside right through the race. lol.

Mate I guess it depends on hownvervous you get when there back from you

The number of supers that seem to be able to dive bomb from what feels like half a straight back makes me think of one carnisbon the same straight as you, one mistake with a blocker means your getting smoked

Anyway - same back bonnet? Does look more tank like to me

Thanks for the video's guys, Pete told me it was off his last down-the-middle space frame, it has red paint underneath the black.

I don't have a very large memorabilia collection but I really treasure the items I do have from Pete, Ian Easton, Grant Mytton, Malcolm Ngatai, Brent Harris and soon to be Ron Tye.

Once I've popped back out to Puke Puke Road to ask Pete to resign it I'm going to hang it from the ceiling of my office.
