It`s beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
Our Buick Invicta and Ford Sunliner joined the Rolleston Christmas parade today - with special passengers Mickey and Minnie Mouse, and Dorothy and the Witch from the Wizard of Oz.
A brilliant, well organised event - and huge fun to see all the smiles on the faces of young and old alike.
They come from near and afar!
We`re lucky to look after vehicles from all over New Zealand.
This week we return a glorious 1925 Harley Davidson F to its lucky owner in the North Island,
just as a magnificent Nash Advance Six of the same year arrives for some work. This car began its life in Christchurch and while it now resides in South Taranaki its owners tour it all over the country.
And so it should be. Classics are meant to be driven.

From The Classic Workshop Collection: 1960 Edsel Ranger
The Edsel range was revamped from Sept 1959. For 1960 Edsel was to only be available in 2 models: The Ranger – ofering 5 body styles, and the Villager stationwagon
Production of 1960 Edsels began on Sept 14 1959 and the 1960 Ranger model was introduced on October 15, 1959, by that time the only sedan Edsel offered.
But it was all over for the Edsel marque with production ceasing by November 30 1959 with the final car leaving the assembly line at the end of the month. So the 1960 model intended to help save Edsel never reached its own calendar year.
Only 2571 1960 Rangers were produced in the marques shortened final model year
- 76 2-door convertibles
- 295 2-door hardtops (pillarless)
- 777 2-door sedans
- 135 4-door hardtops (pillarless)
- 1288 4-door sedans
This car is a 4-door hardtop making it quite rare indeed.
All the hard work has been done. Just get in and drive.
Opportunity to own an iconic 1956 Ford Thunderbird in rare Sage Green.
This car was built 28 March 1956 at Ford’s Dearborn, Michigan plant, and first sold out of a dealer in San Jose.
Only 15631 T-Birds were produced in 1956. It's estimated that fewer than 700 of these were finished in the rare colour of Sage Green – a colour that Ford offered for 3 months only in 1956, making this car a rare specification for its year.
This car arrived in New Zealand as a rare rust free example with 93951 miles on the clock in 2020 after which it underwent a significant restoration that included:
• Engine reconditioning
• Transmission reconditioning
• A repaint in the period correct colour of Sage Green
• A new interior in the period correct colours of green and white
• A new white soft-top
• New tyres
• New windscreen
• New rubbers
Now with 94208 miles on the clock it has added only 257 miles since restoration in the 5-6 years since 2020.
