New Zealand - Geraldine (Vintage Motor Museum)

Paul just insisted to go to Geraldine's Vintage Motor Museum.  This Ford Anglia reminded me of the second Harry Potter book...

Some of the cars were over 100 years old



Most of the vehicles were British

And there weren't enough motorcycles for my liking, but these Royal Enfields cheered me up a bit

As did the Berkeley

My ol' art teacher had one of these

And I wondered whether this old mobility trike was used to terrorize pedestrians, as today's models are



Paul was even more thrilled to see the next building held old tractors

Astonishing!

Never mind about ol' Reid & Cray, we were just, 'so worried, about Wray'



And I remember these from my youth


Yes, that is a coffin being side carted by this old Harley-Hearse


Was when Rovers were built well enough to be proud to own one

And this V8 is a bit of a classic


This is the old Model T, by Ford

And one of 18 vehicles specially made for Elizabeth II's tour of South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, back in 1953-1954
