I'm planning to tour the South Island of New Zealand in my 500. Leaving Napier (North Island)29th March and spending around 3 weeks driving through much of April.
Some of you will have tried something similar and I'm looking for tips on what spares and tools to take. Also any tips on keeping the car in good health during some long(ish) drives.
About the car: He's a 1973 500F with standard engine and gearbox fitted with 123 distributor and a 28mm carb from a 126. Right now he's running like a top. I'm looking to limit the journey to 120-150 kilometres per day although the first and last days will be over 300kms (Napier to Wellington ferry terminal).
We are in training already. This photo was taken on Saturday during a 100km drive around rural Hawkes Bay. It was a great drive.
Am I crazy? Surely not.
