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!

Good for the soul, a dose of Hemi Orange – Chrysler’s champion Charger
The Australian-developed Chrysler Charger was a game changer for the company in 1971, as it faced a faltering start introducing its new VH range. The stylish big coupe signalled a massive change of direction and emphasis for Chrysler.
Auckland racing driver Rod Coppins raced successfully in Australia and New Zealand. Rod found success behind the wheel of a couple of Chargers, and it is a special E49 R/T in the custody of Mike Todd for some years, that is our feature car.
A full restoration of this car has been completed at Auto Restorations (AR) in Christchurch. We recently sampled the car, ready to be shipped back to Mike and spoke to AR’s Harry Dawber, leading the team who completed the superb restoration of this rare piece of NZ motor racing history.
I mentioned that Chrysler Chargers were never built to this standard as we walked around the gleaming Charger in its Hemi Orange colour scheme.
“We took a lot of time getting those shut lines exactly right. It’s been a great car to work on, and the paint and trim have been very well done by the team here.”

Britannia rules the roads – Royal Tour Cars – part 2

Royal rollers and fancy Fords
Ford Zodiacs had transported the Queen Mother during her tour in 1958 but five years on, their glitz had perhaps faded a bit too much for an actual monarch. As there was no longer a convertible version of Britain’s Zephyr or Zodiac on offer, Ford looked to their American arm for a replacement, finding it in the huge Ford Galaxie. The Public Service Garage purchased the car at around £3000 for royal tour work and VIP transport.
