 Talking to John Spencer, and this is a Nissan 240RS, is it not a very famous rally car? Yeah it certainly is. I've had it for a couple of years now. I was sitting at home there a couple of years ago with a broken thumb, wondering what I was going to do with myself and clicking through Trade Me and there it was for sale. So I made a couple of quick phone calls to Rob Wally and exchanged some Aussie dollars for a Kiwi car and I've had it back in Australia for the last couple of years. Isn't this the car that Tony Tisdale won the national championship in? Yeah it certainly is. It's quite a famous car here in New Zealand. It's quite a privilege to own such a historically important rally car. Well tell us about the mechanicals. Yeah no it's got all the proper Nissan works parts in it. One of the boys on my crew said the wiring needs to tidy up. And I said well the wiring's 1981 mate. So yeah it is very important. Good car, reliable car. They did well around the world these but you've got 1200ks of specials. What's your approach to that? Steady steady I think. I think I have to show the car a fair bit of respect. But they do have a reputation for being quite reliable so hopefully that helps us through this event. Being the only Nissan in the event I won't be able to borrow any parts off any of these Escort bullies that's for sure.
