This is a Raw edit of the Balcairn Trial organised by the Bank's Peninsula Branch for the Vintage Car Club (VCC) of New Zealand.
A variety of vintage and prewar cars were in attendance today with the smaller cars having a distinct advantage of the larger ones, even when the large cars are nothing more than a chassis and running gear.
The video is for the enjoyment of the members and participants so they have see what fun they were having. If any VCC member would like a section of video please let me know in the comment.

A few years ago I saw video of Cotswold Trial (UK), something very similar to Balcairn but for all classics till 90s even. It is great. I would even buy a 80yo or 90yo car to compete. Unfortunately in my country (PL) there are plenty of off-road rallies, but in reality it looks like swamp crawling in a monsters build from the scratch more than any off-road fun for the people. This is why I love Balcairn Trial. It is awesome.

@Crazeerooster Год назад

Most drivers have built and modified their own cars , the Austin 7 running gear is preferred and the rules state , pre 1960 and road tyres. An old wreck can cost as little as $600nzd .
