New Zealand - Paul Fahey's PDL Mustang at the New Zealand Grand Prix, Pukekohe - During the 1972-1973 season, the car wore the same paint scheme more-or-less as it had the previous season, but it looked slightly different in that its wheel openings had been extended to clear ever-larger wheels. Paul Fahey was still the car's driver when this photo was taken. Graham Baker was brought in late in the season as Fahey's replacement, and the Mustang reappeared with a magnificent lace-green paint job. - 1973 - Photographer: Richards, Gerard The New Zealand Grand Prix (Pukekohe Park Raceway) - Has been held at Pukekohe on 29 occasions - The first being in 1963 - The last to date being held in 2000 - Between 1964 and 1975, the NZ Grand Prix at the circuit was also a round of the Tasman Series. - Winners of the NZ Grand Prix at Pukekohe include Kiwis Bruce McLaren, Chris Amon, Craig Baird, and Paul Radisich, internationals such as Australian Frank Gardner, Italian Teo Fabi, and Brazilian Roberto Moreno, as well as Formula One World Champions John Surtees, Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart and Keke Rosberg (Rosberg's wins in 1977 and 1978 were before his World Championship win in 1982).
