Well balanced & going quick.
History
This Mallock was the first in NZ, built in 1964 by Jack Oakley & used by him as both a race car and a road car. The car had 2 or 3 other owners before Jack bought the car again in 1990 rebuilding & using it for a year. It then fell into disuse before we bought it from his son & have fully restored it. The car comes with copies of all Jacks correspondence with Arthur Mallock in the UK, and some history. There is a lot of historic photographs that come with the car & detail some of its history
