Magazine

NZ Classic Car – New Zealand’s longest running classic car magazine – celebrated its 200th edition in August 2007, an amazing achievement for a publication which began as a simple idea to put local classic car owners in touch with event organisers, car clubs and trade professionals. NZ Classic Car has been a vital part of the local motoring scene for more than 20 years and features unique and extensive classic motoring coverage. NZCC’s enthusiastic and passionate writers cover the length and breadth of the country ensuring extensive classic motoring coverage. Our coverage of New Zealand’s motoring heritage remains unrivalled, especially in the field of motorsport history, plus we include stunning photography, authoritative features and event reports from throughout the country.

NZ Classic Car

Hibernation

BEST OF THE BEST • These two stunning Porsche 356s certainly lit up the Winner’s Circle at this year’s Teams Event at the Ellerslie Intermarque Concours d’Elegance

CELEBRATING A STYLE ICON • Few cars can claim iconic status, but Jaguar’s breathtakingly beautiful E-Type of 1961 is one of an elite group of ultimate sports cars. The loyal following for Jaguar and Daimler in New Zealand is as strong as ever, and like many, the three owners of these featured cars are passionate about their own E-Type

THREE KEEPERS IN CENTRAL OTAGO • Our feature Jaguar E-Types are three very different cars. Here, we recount some insightful comments from their owners about maintaining these big cats and what it has taken to keep them running well. Amazingly, for cars used as regularly as they are, one is very original, one was restored at least 25 years ago, and the other has recently been fastidiously and professionally restored and maintained to factory standard.

MAIN DETAIL DIFFERENCES

Sunny disposition • The Datsun 1200 SSS was a breakthrough model here and it’s one we can be proud to call our own

The great Kiwi road trip Part one — Tākaka valley • We may not be able to take up the full void left by departing international visitors, but we are giving it a good go

SUBSCRIBE AND SAVE! • SUBSCRIBE, RENEW, OR EXTEND YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TO NEW ZEALAND CLASSIC CAR MAGAZINE AND SAVE UP TO 36%

Celebrating 50 years • One of the oldest car brands in the world, the Cadillac is synonymous with many a claim to fame — some not as well known as others

A WHOLE LOT OF LOLAS GOING ON • Once David Harvey was tall enough to get his head under a bonnet, he started tinkering with cars, and he is still tinkering today — it’s just that the cars have become more expensive

Talk to the mechanics • Michael Clark catches up for a long-awaited one-on-one lunch with Rangiora’s Brabham F1 team chief mechanic, Cary Taylor

THE MULLINS MINI MAGIC • Maintaining a timetable when restoring a car is invariably difficult, as Graham Wing found out with this special classic Mini Cooper S that came with a remarkable competition heritage. As one of its previous owners, Donn Anderson remembers the car with great affection

Memories of Murray • Fifty years ago Kiwi fans rejoiced as McLaren took pole at the Indy 500, and we celebrate Murray Walker’s 23-year career at the top

Is there such a thing, or more importantly, will there be?

Classic Garage

Readers’ Writes

Sleeper at Bristols

Elmo — the family treasure

THE EV PIPE DREAM AND OUR CLASSICS • Carmakers are cashing in on their heritage and putting early sighting of the scary monster

JUST MY TYPE • “Sewing machines!” snorted the sceptical. They had already been silenced by the time Honda showed just what a dose of Type R precision engineering could do for keen drive

THE CLEAN CAR IMPORT STANDARD • THE EFFECTS ON OUR ENTHUSIAST VEHICLES EXPLAINED

TARGA RETURNS TO...
