Built To Last

That the early model automobiles were built to last was evident, as twenty-two of the vintage cars taking part in the 13th International Vintage and Veteran Car Rally passed through Waikaremoana, on their way to Nelson, the Rally Centre. Those cars are solid, man, and they seem to get a lot more care and attention lavished on them than their modern counterparts.

Taking the eye was this 1924 Mercedes, belonging to R. B. Pritchett from Australia.
