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.

Greeks on wheels #13: 1980 Tzen Tonaco prototype
Looking like a traffic cone was another attempt at Greece’s three-wheeler segment.
It featured a lightweight composite body, a single driven rear wheel, and a two-seater cabin.
Although designed and built in Greece power came from an air-cooled, 49-cc single-cylinder engine ‘made in West Germany’ by Sachs. Essentially a moped engine, it sputtered out 1.2 horsepower with a 32-mph top speed.
In the end, just one prototype was built.

Greeks on wheels #12: Alta A200
The Alta A200 was a three-wheel passenger car introduced in 1968 and produced by Alta, a Greek vehicle manufacturer until 1974.
The car was largely based on the German Fuldamobil.
Powered by a Heinkel 200 cc engine, the car had modest success in the Greek market but was soon considered outdated.

Greeks on wheels #11: 1963 Reliant Sabre Six Coupe
The Reliant Sabre was produced by Reliant Motors from 1961 to 1964.
It was originally designed to be a British-spec version of the Israeli-made Sabra, named for a cactus in Israel.
It was offered initially as the Sabre Four (with a four-cylinder engine) and then the Sabre Six (with a six-cylinder engine), available as both a coupe and a convertible.
The Sabre Six, introduced in 1962, featured a 109 bhp (81 kW) six-cylinder Ford engine, offering a significant power boost.
The Sabre saw competitive success in rally events such as the Alpine Rally, RAC Rally, Welsh Rally, and Monte Carlo Rally.

Greeks on wheels #10: 1959 Abarth 750 Record Monza Zagato.
The Abarth 750 Record Monza Zagato was produced in limited numbers and is a highly sought-after classic car.
This car is a racing variant with a twin-cam engine, known for its "double-bubble" Zagato bodywork and its performance in both racing and touring, with modifications including lightweight parts, specialized suspension, and brakes.
Abarth's diminutive coupés dominated the small-capacity classes in international GT racing. Indeed, in North American SCCA events the 1.0-litre Abarth was obliged to compete against rivals displacing up to 3.8 litres and still proved capable of winning!

Greeks on wheels #8: 1903 Oldsmobile Curved Dash runabout
The 1903 Oldsmobile Curved Dash runabout, also known as the "Model R" or "Curved Dash," was a pioneering automobile produced by Olds Motor Works in Lansing, Michigan. It was a simple, two-passenger runabout with a single-cylinder, 4.5-horsepower engine located at the center of the car.
It was the world’s first mass produced vehicle. By 1903, a total of 3,924 Model R Curved Dash Oldsmobiles were built making Olds Motor Works the largest automobile producer in the United States at the time.
