Wow, must be a nice reading indeed. But I'm not sure whether it is possible to write a comprehensive book on AUS/NZ cars at all, at least from how I see the things from here, so there simply must be some missing cars.

See page 170 for pic of me competing at the Pukekoe G.P. Circuit 52 years ago in my 1928 Supercharged Lea Francis Hyper. My real name is William but I was called John when I lived in New Zealand.
