Silverstone Classic 2017

28 July, 2017

As those lucky buggers in the UK get rid of the last of their hangover from the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a few of them will be heading off to another brilliant event being held in their backyard.


The 2017 Silverstone Classic sees some excellent classic racing as well as on-site classic auctions, teams events and the ever popular retro run meaning there’s a bit of something for everyone.


Taking place at the Silverstone Circuit this weekend, there might be just enough time to jump aboard NZ2 and get there for Saturday’s festivities.

Check out a preview of this year’s event here:

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.
