A little birdy told me you had it back.
Obviously not the case, good luck with your search.

Photo credit should in all probability go to Wiseowl, certainly the photo came from TimS.

Hi, this photo I took ~ 1980 just after it was brought off Perry Kyte. They took it for a skid at Wanganui prior to painting it in the James Timbers colours.  By the way, top job on the restoration. Cool car. Looking forward to seeing the dutchmans car also. BL |

I understand the new car is a replica rather than a restoration. Is that correct Barry or Dutchy? Yes Pallmall it is a Replica , Barry and Trevor Peters have built replica together because they were unable to find there old cars. I Located Trevors old chevy motor in Levin which he has just got rebuilt ,cheers DUTCHY ;D |
