Visit NZ's Biggest Classic Car Show
On Sunday 12 February 2012 some 700 owners representing over 70

their enthusiasm, promote their clubs, and compete in friendly competition.
Highlight of this annual event is the Intermarque Concours d'Elegance
Award for the country's best classic vehicle restoration, with awards
also for club entries, themed club displays, and motorkhana competition.
The Club display theme this year is "Power of the marque"

The Classic Fun Run
Organised by the MG Car Club, this "open to all" event
is one of the biggest classic driving events on the calendar!
And in 2012 it's a totally new format - no longer leaving from
Ellerslie Race Course, but from a host of other places in the region
and navigating our way to Vellenoweth Green in St Heliers.
Here you can enjoy a picnic lunch, walk along the beach or do whatever
you fancy!

The History
The MG Car Club launched the first Intermarque Concours d'Elegance
at the sunken gardens, Cornwall Park on December 1, 1972. Then as
now, the event was an inter-club affair and MG became the first winner
of the Inter-Club Challenge Shield. Honours also went to Alvis, Studebaker,
Jowett, Riley, and Citroen Car Clubs.
Until 1981 MG and Jaguar dominated the Cornwall Park event. Then
Porsche took the Shield and moved the rapidly growing show to Ellerslie.
