Parking
Plan ahead with our handy downloadable parking map, which highlights the location of our mobility parking area, two public parking areas and regular public parking spots at Lloyd Elsmore Park.
To Eat & Drink
There will be a variety of food trucks to tempt the taste buds, and if the tummy rumbles a bit, there will be the great Kiwi sausage sizzles run by local community groups to fill hungry bellies. And of course, no one can survive without their coffee fix so visit one of the coffee trucks sited around the show. See the event Site Map for locations.
Howick Historical Village
Adjacent to the show is the Howick Historical Village. If you haven't seen the Village before do check it out to see how the early East Auckland settlers lived. Allow a couple of hours to take in the buildings and history on display. For more info, visit
What's New
Each year we aim to have something new, whether it be a collection of unique vehicles, a special milestone for a classic marque or a car or two with a story to tell. For the 2025 show the following displays will be happening:
Red Roadsters
The main theme this year is 'Red Roadsters'. There is little that sparks the imagination of a classic car more than the vision of a red roadster. Whether Ferrari or MG, Austin Healey or Alfa Romeo, Jaguar or Triumph there are many different models that personify the red roadster theme. There will be a variety on display, each with their own story.
Hot Hatches
Following the popularity of this display in 2024 we will again have a small display of hot hatches. Most will remember the iconic Peugeot 205 GTi, the Volkswagen Golf, the Renault 5, cars that spawned the hot hatch genre. A selection of hot hatches to bring back those memories will be there to see.
Special milestones
The Triumph TR Register and Alfa Romeo groups will be celebrating 50 years of their respectively clubs, a great achievement indeed. The TR Register is also holding is National Rally over the weekend of the show and will likely displaying over 70 cars!
Interesting displays
As a tribute to the famous Goodwood Revival there will be our own “Brit & Euro Revival” display, showcasing a selection of cars of racing/rallying history or tributes to cars with their own famous history.
In this area a unique LeMans tribute car will be 'unveiled' after recently completing a restoration. Something not to miss!
