Peter’s racing career started in the 1970s, where he was fortunate to gain full sponsorship competing in those ‘golden days’ when race meetings attracted sell-out crowds. He competed with distinction, gaining a reputation, usually justified, as a somewhat wild and spectacular driver. His car of choice back then was the venerable Lotus Twin Cam Escort – highly modified. Peter has also rallied, both on gravel, in a Rotorsport-prepared Mazda RX3 and on tarmac in a Ford Escort Cosworth. Then Peter drove a very quick Group B MG Metro 6R4, both in New Zealand and Ireland. He has also competed in classic motorcycle racing, on a Manx Norton, Moto Guzzi or MV Agusta 4-cylinder.

1932 Alfa Romeo 8C Monza:

The dominant racing car in the early 1930s, the Alfa Romeo team was run by Enzo Ferrari prior to the manufacture of his own marque. Truly a piece of Italian mechanical artistry, this particular car is powered by a straight eight supercharged 2.6 engine. In its day, it was capable of winning almost every event in which it entered.
