The are quite a few, Tim S has already posted some on the Frank Irvine tank thread.
Here are a few random shots of different cars, I am not sure of some of the drivers, but you guys will soon fill in the gaps.

88M Rex Nield 1986:


This is posted on a couple of threads already, Dr John 19S also in 1986:


68S Rowan Yandle 1986:


77A Murray Bates 1986:

[mystery]

68s over last few years has been Vern Broadmore

He has raced on and off for number of years and witht he sponsors being waitar based i wouldnt be suprised if this is him. Unsure if he had a tank like car though

Believe hes got new chassis for 2007 season

[busterbell]

clark procter had a weird looking tank as well. ended up in ch-ch i think. havnt seen it in a wile now.

[thewatcher]

68s is Rowan Yandle

[pallmall]

Thanks 'the watcher', I have added that info.

busterbell, is this the Proctor car you refer to?

5A Clark Proctor.


Another I found of 19S (thanks Jrodz for this and many, many more)


99S Neil McCoard. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe this became the 10A Frank Irvine car and Neil built his second one. 99S/10A seemed wider, or is it an optical illusion? Check out the other photos on the Frank Irvine tank thread.

[busterbell]

pall mall yea i think so. i only recall it in can man colours but if he only had one then yea thats it.

[pallmall]

There was another, early/mid 90s, picture to follow by the weekend.

[busterbell]

I'm pretty sure the 5A Clark Proctor car is in the hands of Gerald Griffiths in Christchurch.
Pall Mall do you know if it is the same car?

[pallmall]

Johnakld, more research! Grrrrrrrr!
World No1, maybe we need to do a Dr John thread?

OK, here are a few more, some cars have been on before, but different pics this time.

Robert James 1985.


Rex Nield 1986.


Another of Clark Proctor 1985. Same car as above?



Semi Tank? Tony Rennall 1985.


Another of 68S Rowan Yandle.

[TimSOZ]

I reckon Tony Renall's is a Harris chassis that got modified over the years..........must be time for a thread on them....

[busterbell]

while your at it pallmall or anyone, see if you have a pic of pete angleseys from nelson. 33n. was a bit of a icon in the south and one hell of a lump of steel.
put the fear into the ni cars at the stockcar spectacular after the nationals in ch-ch,
so much so that they protested its legality. ni didnt like there cars bein bent hahahahaha.
also same meeting famous for the king hit on your beloved mr wood by one very ticked mr boote. ;D

[RebelMike]

there was a thread once about 5 months back I think the owner of ex mercer malquin, car is based in huntly or kihikihi

[observer]

I see there are some great copies of the infamous tanker out there - and I see someone was wondering what happened to the Neil McCord Tankers?

I'll have a punt - Tank11 will have the last one in Gisbourne as a stockcar with a hot Rover in it (what do you say Tank11? )

And I reckon the 99 below - which looks to me like one of the best copies done - is raced in Wellington in a modified form by 74w Tony Collins, and prior to that by 84w Ian King.

Now surely someone will have photos of them in that car - King raced for welly at the Auckland teams when they filmed it for TV1 in 91/92 (?) so there is bound to be some pics of it.

Another good one would be when Clark Procter had the Yellow 7a, which raced at the same meeting as the above...

cheers

[tank11]
