Another event just passed, held in Wellington over the same weekend as the Kumeu Hotrod & Classic Show, is as the title of this post would suggest; ‘Wheels on the Waterfront’ (put on by the Capital City Rodders) the turnout of cars is not on a scale the likes Kumeu can offer but it certainly provides a nice view for those who can’t make Kumeu that weekend.

The turnout for it provided a nice selection for the car enthusiast and it’s location makes for some splendid photographs as you can see in the gallery…

Ah yes, that time of year has rolled around again, whilst still in the throws of summer it is car show time and these first few months of the year are especially busy, the first important one is of course the Kumeu show.

Though this year it’s weekend conflicted with a newly organised Japanese Classic Car Meet in Auckland which is only in it’s second year.  (We will have coverage of this posted sometime later in the week)

With much thanks to be given, spread, endured or otherwise to Mr. Lee Boe of the oldschool.co.nz forums, we here at retro-classics have for you a selection of photos of the fine machinery that was on offer at the show.  It is most definitely an event I plan on attending at some point, however, this time it was not to be and so I requested the assistance of Mr. Lee in order to have something to show you peeps who read retro-classics, what you also may have been unfortunate enough to miss out on.

The Kumeu Hotrod & Classic Show is an annual event and it runs over the course of a few days and unless you were entirely sad (like me) then it would be hard to get pictures of the whole range of cars that attend, Lee has however done a fantastic job of showcasing the variety.

So without further delay (other than having to click the “More” link) here’s a sample of the 15th National Kumeu Classic Car & Hot Rod Show;
