The sun was out in Waipukurau on Sunday and so were nearly 80 vintage, veteran and classic cars.

The shiny line-up was taking part in the CHB Vintage Car Club's annual Daffodil Rally - an event to raise funds for the Cancer Society.

The first order of the day was a display of the participating vehicles, which lined James St in Waipukurau and drew an appreciative crowd.

Best-dressed cars and owners were judged and prizes awarded before the group set off to enjoy a leisurely drive to a mystery venue ... which can now be revealed as Junction Wines, where they were regaled with rugby tales both tall and true by winery owner and ex-All Black John Ashworth.

The proceeds of the day are still being counted, but organisers say the enjoyment they got out of the day was priceless.
