Waimak Classic Cars was proud to sponsor and participate in the inaugural Brit & Euro 2026, that will no doubt become one of the South Island’s premier celebrations of British and European motoring excellence. Held in Christchurch, the event brought together an outstanding collection of classic, modern, luxury, and performance vehicles, attracting enthusiasts from across Canterbury and beyond.
The event showcased an impressive range of marques, from iconic British sports cars and grand tourers to some of Europe’s most celebrated performance and luxury manufacturers. The quality and diversity of vehicles on display reflected the passion and dedication of New Zealand’s motoring community and highlighted the enduring appeal of European automotive design and engineering.
For Waimak Classic Cars, Brit & Euro provided a fantastic opportunity to exhibit a selection of significant collector vehicles while engaging with fellow enthusiasts, collectors, restorers, and industry professionals. Throughout the day, visitors shared stories, memories, and technical knowledge, reinforcing the strong sense of camaraderie that exists within the classic car world.
A particular highlight was the strong representation of British motoring heritage, including many of the marques that have shaped automotive history over the past century. From elegant grand tourers and sporting roadsters to rare collector vehicles, the event celebrated the craftsmanship, innovation, and character that continue to make British and European cars highly sought after by collectors worldwide.
The enthusiasm shown by exhibitors and visitors alike created a vibrant atmosphere, with hundreds of remarkable vehicles on display and a steady flow of spectators throughout the day. Events such as Brit & Euro play an important role in preserving automotive heritage while encouraging future generations to appreciate and enjoy these rolling pieces of history.
Waimak Classic Cars would like to thank the organisers, sponsors, volunteers, exhibitors, and visitors who contributed to another successful event. It was an honour to be part of such a wonderful celebration of motoring culture and to represent Canterbury’s collector car community.
We look forward to returning in the future and continuing to support events that showcase the very best of British and European motoring.
