A heart warming tale from the land of the long white cloud.

Sheldon , you better get a box of tissues ready before you watch this.

Grouse video. Yeah Rod Tempero and his cars are well known back home, his craftsmanship is second-to-none.

When I was a teenager tooling about on 2-stroke motorbikes, my Dad was in the Jaguar Club, and one of his mates had a Tempero D-Type. I had a drag with him from 80km/h to *highly illegal speeds* on my TZR250, and it was very close, but I was having to wring the crap out of the bike. And still lost; those D-Types are bloody fast.

Thanks for posting Paul.

A great video, and as is well known a lot of very good old car restoration/creation work comes out of NZ.

Alastair Caldwell (of McLaren F1 fame)had one 250 GTO created in NZ see:

I understand he likes it so much he has commissioned the manufacture of a second car!
