NZ’s Premier Classic Car Show since 1972
The second Sunday in February has become a highlight in every New Zealand car lover’s calendar. Thousands of car enthusiasts visit Ellerslie Racecourse to enjoy this country’s biggest line up of classics – many of them regarded among the world’s best restorations.
The Intermarque Concours d'Elegance is central to the show. It celebrates classic cars with competitions of an international standard based on presentation, cleanliness, condition, originality and excellence. The coveted awards include the Intermarque Team Shield for club teams of two, Masters Class for individual entries and Best “Survivor”.
Aside from the Concours cars and a number of exciting new events, about 80 car clubs will create the biggest display of car marques from all around the globe. These displays compete for the title of "Best Club Display".
Displayed vehicles range from the early 1900s, through to the latest modern exotics. Vehicles range from micros to high performance supercars. The event is renowned for the diversity of cars on show – from British, European and American marques through to Japanese, Australian and even sometimes New Zealand made cars.
Tickets are $20 on the day but also available on iticket from September.
Watch the judging from 10am in the centre of the judging arena, and then the prize giving at 2-2:30pm before checking out the winning cars with their rosettes & trophies from 3pm.
