Bay of Plenty car enthusiasts get revved up! More than 200 customs and classics, hot rods, muscle cars, performance cars and special interests are parking up at the inaugural Tauranga Motorfest this weekend!

The Tauranga Motorfest is on Saturday, November 4, at Tauranga Crossing’s Lower Carpark from 10am-2pm – and is the brainchild of photographers Jessica Barnes from Blissful Photography and Kelvin Couchman from Octane Fix Online.

The event will offer a high quality Show & Shine of vehicles from across the North Island, and is not to be missed!

“Some 1920 Fords, 1960s and 1970s Camaros, Harley Davidson motorcycles and ex-military vehicles are just a few of what will be on show. There will be an exciting feature lane with burn-out cars, rally cars and speedway cars,” says Jessica.

There will also be prizes, auctions, raffles and trophies for people’s choice. A car detailing or paint-correcting package worth $3000 will be up for auction. “A whopping $3700 worth of prizes have been donated, so make sure to enter the raffle!”

Jessica says the event is a fundraiser to get both herself and Kelvin over to Summernats in Australia next year. Summernats is an annual car festival in Canberra – and the biggest burn-out competition in the world.

“We will be following the New Zealand burnout team and will be photographing and filming the team and the whole event.

“So spread the word, invite your friends, and let’s make Tauranga Motorfest the ultimate gathering for car lovers!”
