Mark Parsons

Three Monaro Rally Cars in New Zealand

Mark Parsons rallied and raced two 327 HK GTS Monaro’s and a HG 350 GTS Monaro between 1974 and 1994.  Mark is certainly a Duke Abroad and a Duke of the Decades.

Mark also rallied an L34 LH SLR 5000 Torana which was an ex Bathurst race car which had finished 3rd place in 1974 driven by Jim Richards and Rod Coppins.  Talk about keeping history alive and putting classic muscle cars on gravel.
