1958 Humber 80:

This car was purchased new by Harold Heasley, of Rangiora, and he won the NZ Saloon Car title in it during the 1959-60 season. It was then sold to Doctor Dick Langley of Napier and then Dave Bruton also of Napier. The Humber remained in Hawkes Bay as a club car.
Paul purchased it in the 1980s and tidied it up. He and his late son Ashley raced it in classic saloon events.
