Check out the beautiful and rare in New Zealand Classic Car

7 April, 2015

The April issue of New Zealand Classic Car (Issue No. 292) is now on sale. 

This Ellerslie Intermarque Concours d’Elegance special edition is crammed full of desirable award-winning classics. 

Cars don’t come more iconic than the fabled 300SL ‘Gullwing’ — winner of the coveted Masters Class award. It is one of only 29 aluminium-bodied examples ever built by Mercedes-Benz.

For lovers of all things British, we take an in-depth look at a stunning brace of rare, beautifully restored Aston Martin DB2/4s, that wowed the crowd at Ellerslie.

We also talk to the owners of the amazing time capsules that appeared in this year’s Survivors Class competition, leading off with a beautifully original Wolseley 1300, and we get up close and personal with McLaren’s new hypercar — the incredible P1. 

In addition, there’s ten pages full of news from around the country — be sure to take advantage of this issue’s subscription offers to be immersed in all things classic car from now on.

Stag roars again

11 October, 2024

The Triumph Stag pictured here has been lovingly restored from what was once, in the owner’s words, “a horrible, terrible job”. Owners Glynn and Alison Gaston hail from Dunedin and along with their grandchildren now enjoy cruising in the Stag after a three-and-a-half-year restoration.
In 2011, Glynn was looking for a classic car to restore. After 21 years with Air New Zealand he was working as a Super Shuttle driver, with four days on and four days off, which gave him the time to take on such a project — something he had always wanted to do.
“I’d looked at quite a few cars over the years. The idea was to restore a car as something to keep me going. I had looked at different MGs and I would have quite liked an Austin Healey or something similar but they were really expensive.
“Then I saw a Stag and I thought, Ah, this is nice. This is what I would like.

Our cover car is winning prizes

Congratulations to Dave and Catherine Parker on taking out Presidents choice at the Tararua Rodders Crome & Custom show.
