Rare footage of New Zealand motorcycle legend Burt Munro has been unearthed amongst a family film collection from the 1950s and 1960s.
While planning for Invercargill department store E Hayes and Sons’ 90-year anniversary celebrations Judy Crooks (née Hayes) advised that there was some old film footage stored away that might be of use.
When E Hayes and Sons marketing manager Nick Hawes started to look at the film footage he was stunned to discover clips of Munro amongst it.
Hawes said they will release film clips throughout the year as part of the store’s anniversary celebrations, and included would be the various footage of Munro.

I don't think I've ever seen that canopy on his motorcycle. The article says that he never used it because it made him claustrophobic.
