Check out some behind the scenes footage of when we visited Supercheap Auto at their Albany store to try out the new Lyndar paint-mixing system in early May. For a full breakdown on the paint’s applications that we tried out, be sure to grab a copy of the latest New Zealand Classic Car (in stores Monday, May 25) or the July issues of NZ Performance Car (on sale June 1) and NZV8 (on sale June 8).

At first, I wondered if I’d driven up the wrong driveway. The car in the garage was an early Mustang resplendent in royal blue with two broad gold stripes, which was not what I was expecting. I knew that Rodger Anderson, who made his name in Minis and a BMW 2002, was a Porsche man these days — the other end of the spectrum from American muscle.

Back from the brink – 1968 MGB GT
Auckland classic car enthusiast Kerry Bowman soon realised he had a massive job on his hands in restoring his classic 1968 MGB GT. When Kerry and his MGB first appeared in New Zealand Classic Car in March 2021, in “Behind The Garage Door”, the stripped-out shell had revealed some nasty surprises.
