Is Te Puke near Tauranga or is it a different one?

[Kiwi XTR2]

Yes that's the one.

In NZ we navigate by giant fruit, veggies, animals, softdrinks and other monuments. Te Puke is the Giant Kiwifruit.


Auckland has a Giant Syringe

[Esprit]

That Esprit looks delish Although they say it's an Essex, it's not in Essex colours... is it just an early turbo?

You could do a VIN check to see if it were a real one. Possibly had a repaint over the years? Like you said I think the colour is wrong, only made them in blue with red grey/silver pin striping? Unless one of the Lotus GM's got a one off. All I know is that the originals should display the circular commemorative logo on the side, but this ones hard to see.

I like the bubble car. :-)

I wouldn't mind the Dodge. Or this Dodge. And the Sunbeam. Or how about the McLaren

Or even the no reserve Zephyr cos my Dad had one when I was 5!
