Hello all,
I am looking for any information pertaining to a 1960's- 1970's car racing team supposedly from New Zealand who raced Holdens in Australia.
I have the name Kingsley.
I believe they raced an HT GTS 350 monaro around the NSW tracks.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
I know Kingsley Hibbard raced around the same time but I have no information on his team background etc so I dont know if there is any asscociation.
Thanks for any help.
John.

From the New Zealand perspective, the only name that comes to mind is the veteran Australian Lou Kingsley who did a few races in NZ in a Holden in the (?) late 1960's. Was he from NSW?

1960

And his was the only Kingsley name connected with NZ I could think of, too

King Hibbard lost a wheel on a Holden in Handicap B on Sunday at the Warwick Farm meeting (21st May 1961)

Kingsley Hibbard and Alton Boddenberg were both then from Gosford NSW, where last I heard Kingsley's brother Bruce still lives
