It's from NZ definitely. That's not the name I have, but the builder did sell the car and possibly the new owner renamed it.

I am absolutely not sure, if I am right. I have the name, Graham Walker, as the car's builder....

Yes! My notes say it was a 500cc BSA engine, and it had independent suspension and disc brakes from a Cessna light aircraft.

It was built for TQ speedway racing but rear engines were banned and the car was used for hillclimbs.
