An immaculately restored Model T Ford will be joining scores of other classic motor vehicles at a rally that will end at the wharf in Warkworth this month.
The Model T is owned by Warkworth couple David and Helen Wenzlick and celebrates its 100th birthday this year.
The car will be part of the Daffodil Rally for Cancer 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.
Cars will depart from Smales Farm, Takapuna, at around 11.15am on Sunday August 27. They will head to Warkworth via Dairy Flat, the Kaipara Coast Highway and West Coast and Woodcocks Roads.
They are expected to arrive in Warkworth about 12.15pm, where they will form a display at the wharf and possibly along the main street.
Another car at the rally will be a 1967 Mercury Caliente convertible, owned by local club members Ian and Eileen Cunningham. Ian found the car in Detroit in 2011 with just 57,000 miles on the clock.
At both Smales Farm and Warkworth car collectors will be out with their buckets collecting for the Cancer Society.
The One Warkworth Business Association will run a “People’s Choice” competition for the most popular cars with prizes for the winners.
The Daffodil Rally for Cancer is open to anyone that wishes to enter in any vehicle, regardless of whether or not it is a classic or collectable.
The entry fee is $10 per vehicle and participants must complete an entry form to enable the Vintage Car Club to meet its public liability obligations.
