I’ve only just seen this thread
Bill Norrish and Ray Stone built the first NZ ‘breadvan’ Anglias for Dave Simpson and Paul Fahy respectively, and they took the first two places - in that order - in the 1966 NZRDC Saloon Championship. Jack Nazer didn’t build his up till the following season, and I think Doyle’s Corvette got its similar treatment at the same season. That year Frank Radisich raced the ex-Simpson car and John Wrad and Rod Coppins shared the ex-Fahey. That was the last year ‘allcomers’ cars were eligible for the championship, but the Simpson/Radisich car continued to race in South Island events for another year or two in the hands of Gary Sprague.
Hamlin & Charles never built up a fastback Anglia - you’re not thinking of their Minisprint, are you?
