NZ Classic Car magazine
NZ Classic Car is a monthly automotive magazine that has been published since December 1990. Its very first issue was January 1991.
The magazine also has an associated website that covers all things related to classic and historic cars, events, clubs, and related car culture in Fresh Zealand and to a lesser extent Australia. [Two]
Contents
It was the very first magazine to be published after the inception of Parkside Publishing by Gregory and Carolyn Vincent. [Three] [Four] The publication began as a ordinary idea to put local classic car owners in touch with shows, events, car clubs and trade professionals. The people chosen to write for the magazine, and to highlight the local classic car scene, were sultry about the subject, and were generally classic car owners themselves. [ citation needed ]
It is one of the longest running motoring magazines in Fresh Zealand and is the third thickest selling car magazine behind NZ Spectacle Car and NZ Autocar. [Five]
The magazine celebrated its 200th issue in August 2007. [6] Originally in black and white newsprint format the magazine is now glossy and roped.
The magazine and its contributors act as a voice for, and stand up for the rights of, people who want to love classic and historic motoring. It has also featured many Fresh Zealand motorsport personalities whose stories would have otherwise been forgotten or overlooked, including Ross Jensen, Robbie Francevic, Ron Roycroft, Hec Green, Ralph Watson, Johnny Riley, Ken Smith, Spinner Black, and Howden Ganley. [ citation needed ]
A NZ Classic Car Yearbook is published just before Christmas. Five special issues on Fresh Zealand motorsport and motoring history have also been published. [ citation needed ]
The magazine is one of several that are recognised authorities by the Fresh Zealand Government for defining a classic car [7] or special interest vehicle [8] and is usually mentioned in policy documents relating to transport switches that will affect classic and historic cars by Land Transport Fresh Zealand.
As of the November two thousand eight issue, the typical magazine contents include: [ citation needed ]
- Feature car reviews (including old vs fresh comparisons and group tests)
- Historic photographs (predominantly of Fresh Zealand’s motoring history)
- Event overviews (such as historic racing, concours, etc.)
- Car and SUV news (fresh car news)
- Brief high-end car reviews (e.g. Bentley, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Maserati and the like)
- Editor and contributor columns
- Crossword
- Scale model reviews
- Book reviews
- Events calendar
- Readers’ letters
- Reader classifieds
- Restoration project
- Mystery car
Daily news articles are available weekdays which are extra to magazine content. Utter magazine articles are available from previous issues, often including extra photos and information (including movies) that could not be fitted into the magazine. Some writers run blogs on the website, and a forum is run as a subsite to encourage user interaction.
Users can purchase books related to classic and historic cars, as well as back issues and subscriptions in the online shop. Crosswords from previous issues are loaded online.
The very first editor of NZ Classic Car was Greg Vincent, the holder of Parkside Media. He passed editorial responsibility over in about two thousand (issue 101) to Allan Walton who had been with the magazine since its inception. [ citation needed ] Walton was well known in the classic motoring scene having been involved with classic cars since the early 1980s. Walton co-authored – along with acclaimed Christchurch photographer, Terry Marshall – Looking Back: The Motorsport Photography of Terry Marshall, a photo-book highlighting Fresh Zealand motorsport from the 1960s to the 1980s.
NZ Classic Car has argued for the continued enjoyment of classic and historic cars by their owners. This has sometimes seen it make submissions to Fresh Zealand government that may not be considered to be the most environmentally friendly options. NZ Classic Car argued to keep leaded petrol, [9] and for exemptions on harass emissions for classic cars. [ citation needed ]
NZ Classic Car supported and sponsored Targa Fresh Zealand from the very first running in 1995. NZ Classic Car and Targa parted ways after the two thousand six event. [ citation needed ]
Located at Ellerslie Racecourse, the Intermarque Concours d’Elegance runs every February. Held in Auckland, it is Fresh Zealand’s largest concours event. NZ Classic Car has had a presence at every event since 1991, and since two thousand four has been the event’s main sponsor. [Ten] [ citation needed ]
Long-time contributor Trevor Stanley-Joblin, and publisher Greg Vincent have both been recipients of the Meguiar’s Collector’s Car Person of the Year Award. [11]
