Well spotted, John. It was Bernie.
The accident happened on St Patricks Day at the Alexandra Road
hillclimb on Mt Victoria in the centre of Wellington, our capital.
Light rain and a greasy road plus lots of horsepower!
This is a heavily modified track car, not a road car.
It was a 1962 tri-carb once long ago.
For over 20 years it has been running trick mods and triple DCOEs.
The damage is not as bad as it looks, though the LF wheel was moved
back about 3".

Driver at 1.20 looks like Bernie Huynen to me. Good to see he wasn't
injured-shame about the car. Looks like a project for NZ winter coming
up.
