WELCOME O
n behalf of the organizing committee, I welcome you all, participants and visitors
alike, to the 42nd Ellerslie Intermarque Concours d’Élégance and NZ Classic Car Weekend. As you will see from the map in this
programme, large parts of the grounds here at Ellerslie are no longer available to us. This has resulted in a new club-position layout. I hope you will be comfortable with these arrangements. Ellerslie is still the best venue in New Zealand for our event. The introduction of a judged intermarque Survivors Class last year produced some very interesting and outstanding cars, and again it will be intriguing to see how this competition unfolds. The time, work and dedication put into the preparation of the cars presented for the Masters Class and the Club Competition are just amazing. Please get involved in this part of our fantastic classic-car hobby. The introduction this year of the classic-car paddock park will give a place to leave their car for those attending who are not part of a club display, but who choose to drive to the event in their classic. We expect to see some interesting cars. Please have a happy and interesting Classic Car Day. Garry Boyce Committee Chairman

club entry consists of two cars (clubs can enter more than one team), and the winning team earns the right to host the following year’s event. This year the Auckland Mustang Owners’ Club act as the host club for the event. Last year the winning 1962 Holden EJ belonging to Brenda Hartnell, proved that unrestored, well prepared, and original 50-yearold cars have a place in the event thanks to the introduction of the Survivors’ Class competition.
T
he Ellerslie Intermarque Concours d’Élégance not only provides the opportunity for over 80
classic car clubs to show their best classics to the public, but also awards excellence in the highly coveted Masters’ Class and Team Event along with Survivors’ Class — display that will surely captivate everyone. The Masters Class vehicles comprise individual entries limited to six cars only and open to all car club members. These cars are amongst the finest restorations you will find, and last year a stunning 1958 Porsche 356 Speedster — owned by Ivan Fuller — achieved the highest ever score for an individual car with 567 points out of a possible 590 points, a record previously held by Garry Boyce’s 1957 Mercedes 300SL which achieved 565 points. Will this record be beaten in 2015? The hotly-contested Team Event competition (generally limited to eight teams) will also be judged alongside the Masters’ Class cars. Each

THE CHAIRMAN’S AWARD
I
n memory of Gary McCrystal, previous Concours Committee Chairman, friend and colleague, a very
special award will be presented on the day. Chosen by the current Committee Chairman, Garry Boyce, the recipient of the Gary McCrystal Memorial Trophy can be awarded to an outstanding club display, an individual vehicle or even, perhaps, a club member who has made an outstanding contribution to our hobby. Gary McCrystal was a well respected long-time classic car enthusiast and member of the Auckland Mustang Owners’ Club, Cobra Club, and Auckland Corvette Club, and owned several of these fine vehicles. He was a member and Chairman of the Ellerslie Concours Organizing Committee for three years — making an outstanding contribution to the running and future of this great event during that time.
