Waimak Classic Cars was proud to sponsor and participate in Twin Rivers 2026, one of Canterbury’s most enjoyable community motoring events, bringing together an outstanding collection of classic, vintage, performance, and collector vehicles from throughout the South Island.
Set in Christchurch, Twin Rivers once again attracted enthusiasts of all ages, creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere where owners and visitors could share their passion for motoring heritage. The event showcased everything from pre-war classics and British sports cars to American cruisers, European grand tourers, and modern performance machines.
For Waimak Classic Cars, the event provided an excellent opportunity to display a selection of significant collector vehicles while engaging with fellow enthusiasts, customers, and members of the wider classic car community. Throughout the day, countless conversations were shared around the stories, history, and craftsmanship that make classic motoring such a rewarding hobby and investment.
One of the highlights of Twin Rivers 2026 was the diversity of vehicles on display. From painstakingly restored concours-quality examples to cherished original survivors, the event reflected the depth and strength of New Zealand’s collector vehicle scene. The quality of presentation and enthusiasm shown by owners demonstrated the dedication required to preserve these important pieces of automotive history.
Events such as Twin Rivers play an important role in encouraging the next generation of enthusiasts while providing a platform for collectors to showcase their vehicles and share their knowledge. The strong public attendance and positive atmosphere throughout the day highlighted the enduring appeal of classic motoring in Canterbury and across New Zealand.
Waimak Classic Cars would like to thank the organisers, volunteers, exhibitors, sponsors, and visitors who helped make Twin Rivers 2026 such a successful event. It was a pleasure to be involved and to celebrate the vehicles, people, and stories that continue to keep motoring heritage alive.
As always, we remain committed to preserving, promoting, and sharing some of the world’s finest collector motorcars and look forward to supporting future events throughout Canterbury and beyond.
