Motoring enthusiasts gathered by the Mahurangi River in Warkworth on August 26 to admire some of the 29 classic cars on display as part of a Daffodil Rally.
In total, 112 vehicles made their way from Takapuna via Kaipara Coast Highway and Woodcocks Road, with those that stopped in Warkworth raising just under $2000 for the Cancer Society NZ.
The display included a 1917 Model T Ford and a 1969 Morris Minor
1000 Traveller.
But it was Ian Davies’ replica Ford Model T Bus that took out first place with the People’s Choice and Carrick and Margaret Oliver’s 1950 Jaguar Mk 5 convertible claiming second.
The event was organised by the Wellsford-Warkworth Vintage Car Club, the North Shore Vintage Car Club, Smales Farm Caffeine and Classics, and the One Warkworth Business Association.
