Yep worked this time. Sold my car 25 years ago to a guy in Gisborne it was an ex Owen Shaw/Perry Keyte car (fiat toppolino body 5H) Perry also sold the sister car (fiat toppolino as well 2H) to someone in Gisborne also. Would be great to track them down. These cars both raced at Hamilton's Forest Lake prior to it's closier. If anyone can help it would be appreciated.
