This year’s Motorclassica event will be celebrating a variety of different milestones accomplished in 2015. These include the first 50 years of the supercar, 50 years of Dino, 50 years of the Shelby Mustang, 70 years of MV Agusta, and 50 years of the Bugatti Club Australia — each milestone sure to be celebrated in emphatic style.

But the best way to appreciate the show will be to be there, witnessing the machinery first-hand. Entries close on October 5, so if you or some friends will be in Melbourne on October 23–25, get amongst it and get commenting!

Hiroshima Express

One of the rarest Mazdas,and amongst one of the rarest production cars in the World, a 1967 Series 1, Cosmo made its public debut at the 2025 Cromwell Classic and Hot Rod Car Show on Saturday January 18 this year.
After a challenging 5-year restoration, its proud Cromwell owner, Mike Elford celebrated its appearance along with Dunedin specialist, Mazda rotary engine builder, Cory Wilson who trallered the car through to the show.
“There are a number of details still to attend to and fine-tune the engine and then it will at last be finished. I’m very pleased with the result,” Cory said.
Mike is extremely pleased with the end now in sight of what has been a very challenging project. The tiny jewel of Japanese motoring engenuity attracted many on-lookers at the show as it sat glistening in the sun on an appropriately brilliant Central Otago summer’s day.
