The November issue of New Zealand Classic Car is out now!

6 November, 2016

The November issue of New Zealand Classic Car (Issue No. 311) has hit a shelf near you, all ready for you to pick up, find a spot in the sun and devour! In this issue you’ll be treated to:

From the rafters of a Sydney shed to this pristine, beautifully restored example, our featured 1936 Cord 810 Westchester has been a labour of love.  

It was in 1987 when Larry Price got to see the car of his childhood dreams — and a seed was sown.

Lake Como, Italy, once again provided a spectacular backdrop to this year’s Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este.

What better way to spend a day in the snow than an attempt to master snow and ice driving under expert tutelage.

The November issue of New Zealand Classic Car (Issue No. 311), is now available in stores — but if you’d rather not leave the comforts of your abode, grab a print copy of the mag from the link below!


Project Adder – an MGB with bite

Bill and Rae Denize have been active MG Car Club members in Wellington for nearly 32 years. They have held a variety of positions on the club committee, and now that they are both retired, they can be even more involved in the club’s activities. Bill is currently the president of the MG Car Club, Wellington Centre.
The list of cars they’ve owned over the years is testament to their passion for the brand. It includes a 1972 Midget — the round rear-wheel arch model with 1275cc motor; a three-door 2004 MG ZR; a 2005 MG ZR (five-door); and Rae’s 2005 MG TF, which they still own. Bill also raced a 1967 Morris Mini Cooper S at Manfeild for many years. That car featured in an article in the January 2013 issue of this magazine.
In April 2013, Bill sold the Cooper S and decided to buy a low mileage, freshly imported MG RV8 from Japan. He liked the idea as there were only 1983 built in the early 1990s, which, hopefully, would translate into these cars holding their value. More importantly, their bodies were galvanised, which meant fewer rust problems, although Bill and Rae didn’t escape encounters with oxidation unscathed.
