bronzee Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 A very busy weekend for us again this weekend. Last weekend we had a big show, yesterday was a fun run/trial for another show, and today was the actual big kahuna of all shows here, Concours d' Elegance. Very prestigious, that also features a moto-khana. So many stunning cars as always. TVR's, rare Merc's and Ferrari's, Jags, Aston Martins, Porsche, Lamborghini's, plus hundreds more. They were estimating over 60 millions worth of cars, perhaps an underestimation. One chap had recently been offered 750K US$ for his very rare Jag, so you can imagine the calibre of the cars. With the Masters Class supreme team winners two gorgeous old Cadillacs. Lol, no I didn't get close up shots of them, and yes you could eat of any part of the car. Lol. Here are a few pics. I haven't had time to download my pics yet. http://www.zclub.org.nz/viewtopic.php?t ... c&start=15 My favourites, which I did take pics of were the TVR's & the Aston's of course. Quote
herbie Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Is it just me or are there no pics on that link? Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Thanks Martin. Some nice looking motors there Immy - nice weather too Quote
bronzee Posted February 8, 2009 Author Posted February 8, 2009 Thanks Martin. Some nice looking motors there Immy - nice weather too Thank you for that Martin. Lol Trev, it was positively baking and uncomfortably hot again yesterday. We were moved to that spot at the last minute, luckily the only ones in any decent shade. Well into the 30's yesterday, and very high humidity. I'll download the pics and pop them up later on this afo Kiwi time. Quote
bronzee Posted February 9, 2009 Author Posted February 9, 2009 Warning, very photo heavy post. Not very 56k friendly. :wink: Being the very, very first ones to arrive we enjoyed watching everyone else arrive. So many stunning cars at the Fun Run on the Saturday and I didn't take nearly enough photos. Arriving at Matua Winery, a bit shady for a photo, but none the less... Then Sunday at Concours d' Elegance: The Motor-khana A few that caught my eye: Stunning TVR's 50th year anniversary of Morgan, and a large display of Morgan's. Mini Club display: Quote
bronzee Posted February 9, 2009 Author Posted February 9, 2009 The Inner Circle. The Mustang Club did very well in the teams event, as did the Porsche Club again this year. Quote
IanS16 Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Some awesome cars Bronzee, pretty good Z club stand too. Fair play for blanking every numberplate out as well Quote
AK350Z Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Great cars there! Wonder what the availability of TVR parts down there is like Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Some lovely motors there. Those Mini's are gleaming and love the TVR. Quote
bronzee Posted February 10, 2009 Author Posted February 10, 2009 Great cars there! Wonder what the availability of TVR parts down there is like Hmm, probably not too good. But most companies, usually 7 day turn around or less from anywhere in the globe, depending on availability at the factory. Some lovely motors there. Those Mini's are gleaming and love the TVR. I should have taken more photos. The TVR's were totally gorgeous (probably my favourite there), and there were some jaw droppingly beautiful cars, some extremely rare, and some just plain stunning. This is Concours level, so most you could eat off any panel or the engine bay. Those little Mini's did very well in the teams event as well. They're only little, but very well done. Quote
bronzee Posted February 10, 2009 Author Posted February 10, 2009 Nice! I love shiny metal! :teeth: Lol, you must have some estrogen in your diet. Most of the cars, even if I didn't particularly all of them, I could appreciate the work that had been done on them. Quite a number of complete restores too. Quote
