The Vintage Car Club of NZ was established in 1946 and its aim is to preserve, restore and enjoy the old vehicles which form our rich motoring heritage. It caters for all cars, trucks and motorcyles over 30 years old and Club-eligible vehicles include those which fall into these categories:
Veteran vehicles built before 31 Dec 1918.
Vintage vehicles built between 1 Jan 1919 and 31 Dec 1931.
Post Vintage vehicles built between 1 Jan 1932 and 31 Dec 1945.
Post War vehicles built between 1 Jan 1946 and 31 Dec 1960.
Post 1960 vehicles built between 1 Jan 1961 and 31 Dec 1980.
Post 1980 vehicles built after 1 Jan 1981 and at least 30 years old.
Period Specials (as described in the Club's By-Laws).
Factory-built and historic racing vehicles (as described in the By-Laws).
This branch of the Club was formed in Wellsford in 1979 but as the membership in Warkworth grew the Club shifted south and added Warkworth to its name. Our Clubhouse is the former Telecom Visitor Centre at the Satellite Station, which is a short distance south of Warkworth and to the east of SH1, where we have plenty of parking in a lovely rural setting which we share with sheep, cows. and horses.
We pride ourselves on being a very sociable club, with some of the original members from 1979 still active. We meet for regular Club Night dinners on the second Thursday of each month (except January) and you are welcome to come along to meet the members and see if you would like to join us. Apart from having rallies and runs over weekends, we also have midweek beach picnics during summer and casual lunches at cafes in the district during winter. You don't have to own an eligible vehicle to join the Club and you can download an application form on the Contact page.
