1. "Our own
heroes; Easter 1961, and the Haggitt
family's 3litre Bentley, chassis 1063;
McKellars' 4½ litre Lagonda;
and the Pinckneys' Silver Ghost, chassis
14KG at Cardrona during their trip
around the as yet incomplete Haast
Pass. Willis and Mary Brown took the
ex- C.W.F. Hamilton 4½ litre
Bentley, chassis HF3198
around too, and Willis took the photograph."
From the article 'James
Bonds Bentley Continental' by
David A. Sulzberger
2. "Willis Brown's photograph
taken at Easter 1961, when (from left)
the Pinckneys in Rolls-Royce Silver
Ghost 14KG, McKellars in their 4½-litre
Lagonda, the Haggitts in their 3-litre
Bentley 1063, and Browns in HF3198
travelled to Haast. The road through
the Haast Pass was still largely unmade,
and the connection with the rest of
the West Coast was not completed until
the end of 1965." |
