Sorry Matt they are the only three photo's we have prior to the major rebuild, if I find some time I will post them too. I have to say I did the deadly sin and dumped the imp body and wing and replaced it with a glass Charde body the one that you are looking for now. The wing did return for a short time on top of the 15a car of Mike (can't remember his surname) he was a butcher that lived in west Auckland

 Not sure of the year.  Not sure if the 11a car is a Harris or who the driver was. |

Some information I have found on the cars built There were 6 in total #1 Built by Gary and Bob Harris: Raced by Gary then went to Bruce Harris then sold to  #2 Built by Gary and Bob. Raced by Gary then sold as a rolling chassis to a local (Aucklander) who crashed it in pit bend at Waikaraka and bent the chassis unsure as to whether it was repaired or where it went after this. #3 Built by Gary. Raced by Gary sold to Bill Dorn #4 Built by Gary and Bruce Harris. Raced by Bruce Harris sold to Nigel Bradbury then to #5 and #6 were kit cars engineered by Gary and Bruce Harris and sold as a kitset to: Barry Dixon & John Prebicievich |

I'm also pretty sure that the Butch Whitford car was a copy of the Bruce Harris/Nigel Bradberry car built by Butch Whitford and Noel Phipps

The name Mike Ransfield springs to mind as the local that crashed it. I think he had jammed a Jag V12 into it .
The crash featured on a Majik(sp) video I think and clearly showed the chassis bending .

I think the #2 car was totalled and scrapped after the crash mentioned above and by Gordon. I thought there may have been a couple more, but all good things get copied.  |
