A humble little Humber 80 won the day, but a host of vintage and classic vehicles performed splendidly at the Queen's Birthday Wanganui Vintage Car Club Rally.
"Ken and Annette Foot were the overall winners in their 1958 Humber 80," club captain Frank James said.
"We were so lucky with
the weather and were back at the clubrooms well before the rain came down."
Drivers assembled from 9am at the Wanganui Racecourse on Sunday to learn where their wheels would take them before heading off on a route that took them to the north of Hunterville.
"We headed to Otiwhiti Station, which is now a land-based training site, and came back through the back roads of Marton and Turakina Valley," James said.
