Auckland - Brit & Euro Classic Car Show. Classic Cars!


It was great exciting family event on Sunday 6th March 2016, 10am-3pm at Lloyd Elsmore Park, Pakuranga, Auckland.

British and European cars have always played significant role at the Auckland transportation scene. The brand new Brit & Euro Classic Car Show in Auckland on March 2016 is a special day show-casing cars of a classic style.

The very first an informal car show was orginised at Lloyd Elsmore Park in 2014. And the venue proved to be very suitable to be extended with more participants. An inaugural meeting held in early 2015 with representatives from a variety of influential car clubs made the existence of Brit & Euro Classic Car Show.

Representatives of about 60 clubs participated in the show at Lloyd Elsmore Park, opposite the Howick Historical Village. About 400 cars are shown. And the best – almost all of them are in a good condition. Anyway, just look at our photos and you will see them.
Hundreds and hundreds aucklanders enjoyed the show and great sunny day.

To summarise, Brit & Euro Classic Car Show was very interesting and we will hope that it will be held every year.

Enjoy the photos of those classic cars. More photos are coming, so come back to www.SoftFern.com.
