Although the whole world of air-cooled racing is Loose Fillings
territory, we are naturally a little biased towards our home region which consists of Australia, New Zealand and occasionally Singapore and Malaysia. Even limited action in Hong Kong might have had a mention once or twice. So we were interested recently to see a well-established New Zealand magazine NZ Classic Driver with some air-cooled content that was new to us. With the kind permission of
editor Allan Walton we are republishing here the following pages by Allan Dick which will be of special interest to Loose Fillings readers.

While this was being organized, publisher Garry Simkin was trawling through an index of the 49 printed issues of Loose Fillings and here is the list of New Zealand items he came up with. If you go to https://loosefillings.com/back-issues/, you can go to the issue number you want to see and/or download a pdf file of it.
