THERE'S SO MUCH to see and do, so here’s a little run-down of what’s happening on the day and what you need to know.

Parking
Plan ahead with our handy downloadable parking map, which highlights the location of our mobility parking area, two public parking areas and regular public parking spots at Lloyd Elsmore Park.
To Eat & Drink
There will be a variety of food trucks to tempt the taste buds, and if the tummy rumbles a bit, there will be the great Kiwi sausage sizzles run by local community groups to fill hungry bellies. And of course, no one can survive without their coffee fix so visit one of the coffee trucks sited around the show. See the event Site Map for locations.
Howick Historical Village
Adjacent to the show is the Howick Historical Village. If you haven't seen the Village before do check it out to see how the early East Auckland settlers lived. A 50% discount on the entry fee is available on the day of the car show.
What's New
Each year we aim to have something new, whether it be a collection of unique vehicles, a special milestone for a classic marque or a car or two with a story to tell. For the 2026 show the following displays will be happening:
Supercar Lawn
Nearly everyone growing up in the 80's & 90's will have had a poster on their bedroom wall showcasing a Lamborghini or Ferrari. These days there are may other cars that can be defined as super cars. From a McLaren, the iconic E-type jaguar through to the Pagoda Mercedes there will be cars to drool over at the Supercar Lawn.
NZ Built Cars
There will be an interesting selection of NZ Built cars, some well known such as the iconic Fraser through to some not so well known like Heron, Mistral and even a couple of home built specials imited only by the imagination of their builders at the time.
Special milestones
The Ferrari Owners Club of New Zealand are celebrating 40 years, and I can see we are all looking forward to seeing what the il Cavallino Rampante will bring along.
Interesting displays
As a tribute to the famous Goodwood Revival there will be our own “Brit & Euro Revival” display, showcasing a selection of cars of racing/rallying history or tributes to cars with their own famous history.
In this area we hope to have a unique LeMans tribute car which will be 'unveiled' after recently completing a restoration. Something not to miss!
And for the kids!
To help keep them interested look out for the bouncy castle and the local MenzShed wooden race car stand. Pick up a Treasure Hunt form from the Information Tent, which will have some interesting prizes available.
