BUCKLERS LEAD -- OTHERS FOLLOW |
 
I have the Mk 6 Buckler in the NZ photos number 8.
It was the original one to come to NZ ,
It was the NZ Buckler works car of Arthur Harris with a
number of drivers and then PHIL KERR of McLaren fame ,
then Jim Boyd and Jim Palmer two of New Zealand's old
racing entities .It was lost for years then are appeared
thanks to Bruce Sutcliffe ( Mr Buckler NZ ) sat with a
couple of people a few more years until I managed to get
my hands on it a few years ago. Its been completely
rebuilt and its as close to the 1953 build as possible (
I had Bruce Sutcliffe and Phil Kerr looking over my
shoulder) . I am so fortunate to have acquired from a
number of sources a wonderful collections photos , some
every step of the original build others action shots of
it in anger.
Its competition history of recent times has been limited
due to my structural limitations ( spinal surgery) not
its reliability. A couple of hill climbs and a few bent
sprints as well as a few rapid country side escapades .
