7w, 1HB, 61b, 38r .... 57w? (Read 7,131 times)

[observer]

The car I am of course talking about is the Radio Windy Boss powered Tony Mac car that he sold to Graeme Smith in the HB, who then sold to Bryce Penn who painted it in the Green and Black colin townsend sponered colours, who then sold it too Barry Hunter...i'm not sure whose next....then ended up in wellywood in the hands of Scott Gallop 57w was it?

Last I saw was maybe 5 years ago, and it still had the big pipes up the side. Anyone know what has happened to this beast, and better still, have any photos of it in its glory days with the various owners?

cheers

Duncan Gallop still owns the car, it's sitting in a workshop somewhere in the Hutt Vally. Word is that Duncan will one day confert the car to a Stockcar.

Hi Pallmall do you know were that pic of Barry hunters car was tanken as in the back ground there is a go kart looking thingy. I remember Tub Warner (27hb) used to cart a go Kart around with him when used to come over to Wanganui for his son Shane and i was thinking that may be it being the number 27 on the side of it.??

[TimSOZ]

The Barry Hunter pic is from the NZ Champs at Baypark in 1985/86 (the only season Barry raced it).

The little car was a replica of 27B Tub Warner's car at the time, presumably built for his son Shane?

[pallmall]

The photos were scanned from a private collection, not
being the photographer of those I don't know where
it was taken.
Could be Wanganui, anybody else recognise the pit area?

[Deleted]

Is it just me or did that car have a windscreen on it ??

[Fiddy1nz]

That car we got off Bryce Penn,Barry raced it for 2 years,the FOrd engine was aRBertram built engine that gave no trouble at all considering it was aFord

[The Observer]

The missing link - 1 hb. Purchased by Graeme Smith from Tony Mac, raced for a part of season before illness forced sale to Bryce.
