A home grown Ferrari P4 takes centre stage in the latest issue of CLASSIC DRIVER. Oamaru metal magician Rod Tempero has created a genuine work of art that’s indistinguishable from the genuine article of 1966. We also discover a rare Mercedes-Benz SEL 6.3 — the first ever Super Saloon that’s still capable of a white knuckle drive.

We recount one summer in the life of Chris Amon — the boy from Bulls who went on to win the 24 hour race at Le Man and become a Ferrari Formula One driver. The summer we look at is 1962 when, as an 18 year old lad, he towed his eight year old Formula One car around New Zealand behind a Ford Pilot truck, competing against the likes of Stirling Moss. An amazing story! The Ford Falcon is also 50 years old and we celebrate that, there are dusty motor racing photographs and your letters.

All that and more in issue 33 of New Zealand’s best classic motoring magazine — on sale now.
