I have spoken to Mrs Stuart who advises me that the DVD is just over an hour long and is NZ$30 plus postage, which she is checking.

Attended a few Nelson Beach Race meeting myself in the 60's and 70's. Enjoyed the racing there.
Housie Logan later raced a Fiat 500 with a lot of Nardi bits on the engine [ think it was 750cc & it lost a lot of weight] and it could head of some of the larger engined cars [ "Hot" Minis etc ].
The Stuart DVD mainly deals with the Historic Race at the 1975 Wigram Meeting.

My copy arrived just before Christmas, postage to UK just over $NZ8, on a 6 day turnaround from order to arrival.
Quality is very much period home movie, and at times makes David Roscoe's BRSCC films look sophisticated. Nevertheless, it has a laudable reproduction quality and represents interesting archive footage, not least for showing the Stanton Special in colour and in full flight down the tracks. Enjoyable and not expensive to have on the shelves.
I suspect there should be a good photo archive there somewhere too.
