Make a Wish Come True

Apr 1, 2021
The Make A Wish Foundation is a charity that grants wishes to terminally ill children, bringing them joy in a very difficult time. It’s an incredibly worthwhile cause and the proceeds from the sales of these two classic masterpieces will go towards making more dreams come true.

Week = Business, Weekend = Party

Mar 24, 2021
Volvo has always been the choice of sensible people looking for understated style and class leading safety. The sort of people who might find the idea of a convertible a bit frivolous but deep down wish they could be a bit more ‘devil may care’ if only the cost/benefit analysis stacked up. Sound familiar?

Injured Muscle

Mar 17, 2021
Classic American cars are costly in NZ. Imported, worn out family sedans from the 70s turn up for sale regularly with wince inducing price tags and a list of problems longer than a Bruce Springsteen concert. So this not-quite-classic Dodge Charger looks like a worthy alternative. And the problems list is more like the Boss’s encore in length. Read on...

Discount Luxury

Mar 2, 2021
The Mercedes SL is the benchmark for luxury 2 seat roadsters. Rich people love them and they are a true motoring icon. Back in 2004, when this car was new, you needed to shell out a cool $200k+, and the 350 was the cheapest in the range. Today this well preserved NZ new example can be bought for less than a new Suzuki Swift. Read on...

An Affordable Sporty Hybrid?

Feb 24, 2021
Hybrids and electric cars are better for the environment and our wallets. They mostly drive well, they are cheap to run, some have decent performance and prices for used examples are available for most budgets. But most are also a bit dull to look at and are about as sporty as a game of tiddly winks - except one: The Honda CR-Z. Read on...

Prelude to a Dream

Feb 18, 2021
Once upon a time the Honda Prelude was one of the more popular Japanese imports in NZ and they were everywhere. But like most cars, fatigue, fashion and rust has killed most of them and now you rarely see them. Could this amazing 1983 example be one of the best left? It’s for sale at Turners classic auction this Saturday. Read on...

Future Classic or Future Scrap?

Jan 28, 2021
It may seem unlikely now but looking at the surging tide of old Ford Falcon prices suggests newer ones will one day be prized by future enthusiasts. In which case buying this 15 year old BF XR6 with low kilometres and only two owners for $8500 makes a lot of sense. Read on...
