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, appearance, cleanliness, condition, originality and excellence. The coveted awards include the Intermarque Team Shield, Masters Class 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 Best Club Display.

Back for 2022 are attractions introduced last show:
  • the 50-50-50 competition for younger cars and younger entrants.
  • a display of classic Hotrods​
  • Unfinished Projects - a display of unrestored cars, partial builds & other bits & pieces
New for 2022
  • A display of Concours Standard Modified vehicles
  • A display of rally cars
  • A special display of Jaguars - celebrating 100 years of production.

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.
