Just The Fastest. When the Gisborne Car Club held its quarter-mile sprint event at Brunton's Road, Patutahi, this month, the star performer was this Aston-Martin Tourisimo (1960 model, 3.8 litre, cost £4600) owned and driven by R. Stewart (Christchurch). It did the ¼ mile in l6. 3sec., can get down to 15sec. It is pictured here on the 100 m.p.h. mark.
