Random windsurfers just thrown in the mix for extra effect!

Nelson tops New Zealand in…

old cars per head nelson

….in ownership on per head basis of “classic cars."

An article in this weeks Leader alludes to the fact;

Nelson has the highest percentage of classic cars - which is cars that are at least 40 years old - per head of population in the country.

So its not surprising that the 9th Annual Nelson Car Show will be bigger than ever at its new location,

R0011152A

…ands its also not surprising that you can have a sort of Déjà vu moment many times while driving around the region?
