Is it the first fibreglass bodied car from NZ?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #35 on:** July 24, 2012, 01:23:04 AM »

Any connection to Tempero?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #36 on:** July 24, 2012, 10:42:29 AM »

Nothing to do with Tempero.
It's a fibreglass body, but my source does not report a year for it...

Built by Blackwell Engineering of Christchurch with a body by Weltex Plastics of the same town?

Not the name I have and not from Christchurch.

Okay thanks for that - I'll be interested to learn more about this car in the coming days......

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #40 on:** July 24, 2012, 04:02:50 PM »

Ok, I'll give you some clues.
This was a kit car built for Ford.
There were 3 different models.
I have the name of the builders, the place where it was built and the name of the car.
There is a relation with Weltex.

Were the builders resident at the North Island of NZ?

Nope...

Any connection to Paton Engineering?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #46 on:** July 31, 2012, 03:54:30 PM »

Not to my knowldege.
There was a big clue in one of my replies.
Few info can be found on the net.

woodinsight · « **Reply #47 on:** July 31, 2012, 07:20:26 PM »

Presumably no connection with Buckler (New Zealand) Ltd.?

JonathanPoll · « **Reply #48 on:** August 01, 2012, 02:44:13 AM »

Microplas?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #49 on:** August 01, 2012, 03:41:16 AM »

Bill Ashton, formerly of Microplas and Weltex, joined with Ted George in the 1960s and made the "Tiki", of which three were made. Is this one of those? I can't find a corroborating picture.
