Still Going Strongly

Still going strongly were the 20 or so vintage cars which took in Gisborne during the course of a recent North Island tour. All the cars were in beautiful condition and very few of them had troubles of any sort on the trip. Quite a number of local vintage car buffs were drawn like magnets to the visiting vehicles which created much interest as they left town for Napier on the final stage of their tour.
