Double Bubble

You don’t see many cars with the signature Zagato Double Bubble roof design, aside from a few exclusive Aston Martin Supercars, the odd hyper car and some great racing cars of the 50s and 60s. And you certainly won’t buy one without a very large sack of cash, unless it’s a rather fetching Peugeot RCZ, like this one. Read on...

Fashionable and Green?

As a rule, a 1984 Diesel Mitsubishi Pajero doesn’t have much in the way of ‘Green’ credentials. It has a pretty agricultural 2.3l turbocharged diesel engine that can sprint to 100kph in under the time needed to cook a roast dinner, whilst asphyxiating native wildlife in its wake.

The Everyman Van

The fourth generation Toyota Hiace was such a popular van in NZ during its 15 year production. Most came with little to no comfort options, drove okay, and were likely to be lethal in a crash. But it was bomb proof (if not always rust proof), dependable, and didn’t depreciate like most cars. And due to the nature of the work these vans did, most had rolled over the 200,000km mark in their first five years. However, Turners Hamilton has a 25yo example that is yet to hit this modest milestone in Hiace terms. Read on...

Rock And Roll Van

Back in the nineties this would be the van of choice to take your band on tour across America. These days being a touring musician pays so poorly you couldn’t afford the gas to run the 5.7L V8 across town, never mind the country. Unless you’re in a tribute band. If you are, let’s say, a Guns and Roses tribute band, this Chevrolet Express Gladiator edition could be ideal for you. Read on...
