New Zealand Performance Car magazine cocked up when writing the article and stated that it had 24 valves and it would appear that TOBES just repeated what he read

I posted up about this quite a while ago and believe that the owner (or builder not 100% sure) was a member on these forums

Hi Guys

This is Boothys car. Seen it many times. Often gets suspension work done around the corner and tuned at another shop in Hamilton. Nice job.

Sounds expensive....

[ServiceSoon]

a picture is worth a thousand words or something like that.

Hopefully I will be able to attach some photos of the V8 Altezza. It was at a motor show. Cheers

Very nice and very clean.
