Hop down to Mangawhai for Easter classic car show

Dressing up in retro fashion is encouraged.

Rev up your engines and get down to Mangawhai Domain this Easter Sunday for the Mangawhai Muscle and Classic Car Club’s Easter Hop car and bike show.

Dozens of pimped-out and pristine vehicles old and new will be on display, with everything from hot rods and pick-up trucks to vintage cars and superbikes.

This is the second year the show has been held and it is open to any car enthusiasts who have a special vehicle to show. Club founder Bryan May says no registration is required – just turn up on the day from 8am – and he expects an impressive display of automobiles.

As well as the car and bike show, there will be live music, stalls and food and drink available, and wearing retro fashion is actively encouraged.

Entry costs $15 per show car and $10 for motorbikes. Spectators’ cars cost $15 as well, which includes entry for all occupants and parking, or $5 for those on foot and kids are free, with gates open to the public at 10am. All proceeds will go to Mangawhai Heads Volunteer Lifeguard Service and the Mangawhai Domain Society.

“It’s been a tough few years and both of these organisations are well deserving,” May says.
Gang patches and drugs will not be permitted on the grounds, and no alcohol will be sold there.
