Get ready to rev your vintage and classic engines, and join the Daffodil Rally for Cancer this month.

This Sunday, August 21, hundreds of cars will be on the road and on display across the country as part of the Vintage Car Club of New Zealand's National Day and effort to fundraise for local cancer societies.

'It's a very noble cause and cancer affects a huge proportion of New Zealand families,” says Bay of Plenty Vintage Car Club vice chairman Donn White.

The car show will start 10.30am this Sunday at the BOP Vintage Car Club clubrooms venue at Cliff Rd, Tauranga City – and, with a food truck on-site, you can tuck in while enjoying New Zealand's motoring heritage.

Cars have to be 30 years old or older, and Donn says it's not just American and UK classics anymore as cars from the early-1990s enter the scene. 'It's quite quaint now seeing all these early Japanese cars coming through the club; there's little old Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas.”

If you have an old car sitting in your garage, Donn encourages you to get along and support the fundraiser. 'We'd love to see them.”

He also gives special mention to the event's organiser Linda Downey, who has done 'all the million and one things behind the scenes”.

The Mustang Owners' club will be giving rides to children with cancer from 10.30am and at 1pm, the BOP fleet of vintage and classic cars will take off on their fundraising rally from Cliff Rd to South Waikato and back!
