During trips to New Zealand in the 1970s and 1980s, Peter Ward usually had his camera close by, and his interest in old cars meant that he captured on film a wide variety of interesting automotive sightings. Recently he was kind enough to donate a stack of his old photos so that they could be used across the channel and website. A collection featuring a multitude of rare classic cars that he spotted in the epic Horopito Motors scrapyard has already featured on the Old Classic Car channel ( • The VAST Horopito Moto... ), here it's the turn of old cars in New Zealand that were still in use, for the most part anyway.
Many of the cars were of British origin, they include example(s) of Hillman Minx, Singer Gazelle, Austin A30, Ford Prefect, Austin Cambridge, Rover P4, Morris Isis, Ford Zephyr, Wolseley 6/110, Austin A40 Devon, Morris Minor, Vauxhall Cresta, Standard Vanguard, Riley RM, Vauxhall Victor F-Type, Austin Westminster, Singer Hunter and many more. Do any of them survive?
It's interesting to see classic British cars that I'm relatively familiar with on foreign soil, as there are often small differences in spec and trim when compared to the home-market cars.
Please take a look at the rest of the channel when you're finished here, there are hundreds of videos of varying length and different subjects piled on here now. Comments, subs & likes welcomed as always, thanks. My thanks to Peter for sending over his archive of photos.
