Up until the 70's we had british cars, but they were really expensive, then the tax dropped and the 2nd hand Japanese car invasion happened and they just all disappeared over about 5 years. I've had a Triumph 2000, and a hillman hunter in the past.

here are some old cars you see around, from the West Coast of the South Island
