It was the ex Crichton Eggenberger XR4Ti that ran at the January 1987 NM500. Was sold to Mark Petch and converted to a "thundersaloon" around 1989/90. A friend of mine has it now, and plans to restore back to 1986 Gp.A spec. Conrad |

I've never read anything linking Bathurst to any 'trans-tasman' type series or involvement in the SPTCC. |

Hi Guys!
Great thread! But I can't really make out where the Volvos placed during 1986/1987... I need to know the Rock Gas (Peggen Andersson - Dave McMilan) placed during 1986 at Wellington, Pukekohe and Benson & Hedges. The same with the U-bix Copiers (Peggen Andersson - Garry Croft) placed during 1986, in the South Pacific Touring Car Championship. And where the U-bix Copiers (Ian "Inky" Tulloch - Garry Croft) placed during 1987, and finally the U-bix Copiers (Peggen Andersson - Garry Croft) 1987 placed. Photos very welcome to! Hope I made any understandable sense! Regards! |

"No. 62 Isuzu Gemini 2ZT 1844cc, Ian Schuler, Peter McNeil; Before... Schuler... obtained the car, Glenn McIntyre and Dennis Roderick raced it in the debut Nissan Sport Series for a 6th at Wellington and 9th at Pukekohe" The Nissan Sport Series was early in 1985 and there might be some relevant photos here: http://www.theroaringseason.com/show...et-Race-Photos or here: http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...ellington%201/ Malcolm. |

Another question about the Volvos that raced at New Zeeland in 1986-87, does anyone have any photos from that present time?
Mainly I'm on the hunt for photos of the entry of U-bix Copiers Volvo with Ian "Inky" Tulloch & Garry Croft from 1987, but all photos would be helpful even if its not photo of Tulloch/Croft. It probably would look something like this, but I'm not sure: However this is the Söderqvist Racing Sport-Ubix enrty car #16 (Granberg/Blomqvist), the team also had a second car in the same livery with #4 (Andersson/Tulloch). This was at Wellington 1987. Regards Björn |

The second photo was taken by my father, and you're free to use it on your site. I'll have a look through some magazines/race programmes over the weekend and see what else I have. Malcolm. |

Hi all, thanks so much for this great forum. I really enjoy reading about the memories and the old days... such knowledge.
Back to topic. Here's a video of the full race of the January 25 1987 Nissan-Mobil 500 Round 1 from Wellington. We included a comment of KA's from 2011 and gave all credit as well as posting a link to this discussion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GHRTRkogWA Regards, Mark |

Bit of a thread revival. There have been a lot of photos plus other results / entry lists etc posted in this thread over the years via Photobucket but the links don't seem to show anything meaningful when I click on them. Would anyone happened to have saved these images way back then?
