1954 Austin Healey Corvette:

This Austin Healey 100/4 was bought new in England by speedway champion Geoff Mardon and sent to New Zealand to Arthur Kennard who raced it. Because of its lack of power, in 1958, he imported a new 283 cubic inch Corvette engine and completely re-engineered the car with this new 310hp American muscle and fitted Aston Martin DB2 disc brakes, a Jaguar diff and a Ford competition gearbox. This car was restored ten years ago by Dave Bunn.
