Springhill Part 2 - Vintage Car Club
The Waitemata Vintage Car Club ran their annual speed event on the airstrip. A standing quarter mile, a flying quarter mile and a slalom around the cones, normally held on the grass but there had been too much rain recently so the tarmac was used. A big range of cars from historic race cars to old saloons and Austin 7 Specials. Thanks to photographer Julie, apart from the first three sent to me by Keith Humphries of the VCC.
The Orchid was going well. The silver car is a Lotus 6, the model before the widely copied 7.
Keith & Di Humpries had a 1928 Lancia. The GeeCeeEss Special was going well but needed a few push starts to get the flathead V8 fired up.
A Cooper historic racer and an early Buckler.
One of several Austin 7 Specials and a V8 Allard.
More Austin 7s.
Alan Woolf's historic race car that ran in Monaco in 2004.
