The Vintage Car Club of New Zealand comprises 36 branches across the country and is open to all vehicles that are 30 years old and over.
One of the club’s popular events is the annual Daffodil Day Rally for Cancer.
All of its branches set out on a given day decided by the Cancer Society to raise funds.
The threat of rain didn’t deter members of the Auckland Veteran and Vintage Car Club from rolling out their prized vehicles from a bygone era for a good cause on August 20.
Drivers, along with their trusted navigators, congregated at a café in Whenuapai for breakfast where their cars were on display while donations were accepted from drivers and the public alike.
Along for the rally were Botany locals Glenn and Marion Morris in their beautifully restored 1928 Ford Tourer.
Word has it the vehicle has traversed most of New Zealand’s roads, an impressive feat given the amount of pot holes they would need to have navigated.
Following breakfast, the convoy of veteran vehicles headed for Huapai Golf Club for refreshments and more fundraising.
The day ended at the Swanson Returned and Services’ Association for lunch, good yarns, and the tallying of funds raised for the worthy cause.
Daffodil Day is on August 25.
