Also RT4-267 used by McMillan and also for rent-a-drivers in 83/4. Is this the car McMillan uses in 82? Is it the original magnesium tub car used by Lees at Macau in end '81?

Just looking at Chassis History myself and found this thread.
Ralt RT4-283. Grant Campbell Car. As per MotorAction reports at the time Grant bought this Damaged in the US and was repaired in New Zealand and first raced at December 1982 Gold Star Meeting at Pukekohe. He then used it for 83 and 84 season. Riley Hopkins drove it the following year while Grant still owned it, It was then Sold to Paul Radisich and used in 87 and 88 NZ Summer series and in a couple of Gold Star races at the end of that year by Paul and his Dad. Not sure what happened to it after that, Paul drove Swifts and Reynards after that.
Dave McMillan Ralt RT4-267. This was the car crashed at Macau in 81 by Geoff Lees. Both 267 and 269 came to New Zealand (Mike Rosen drove 269) then this was sold to Radisich Family and Paul drove this Car in Both late season NZ Races and Australia in 82 then NZ Series in 83. It then went to Australia when it seemed to be tied up with Graeme Watson ( Paul drove for him in Australia in 83)
Back to 267. McMillian used it for 82 NZ Then in US 82/83(Odd race and each year it would have done NZ Series 83/84/85/86 (Last Year that Dave raced). Yes various others drove it in NZ (Ray Lipper/Justin Revene, and maybe others as well).
If you need other info on NZ Races ( Later International and Gold Star happy to provide this). Some of the Stuff on oldracing cars is not quite correct.
