Inside the North Canterbury car museum with a unique, ever-evolving collection

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

About 30 minutes out of Christchurch and tucked away off the side of State Highway 1 is a classic car showroom with a unique, ever-evolving collection – going as far back as a 1913 Model T.

Gloria and Jesmond Micallef are behind the Waimak Classic Cars museum and showroom in Leithfield, North Canterbury, where they display about 60 cars from their 120-or-so car collection.

They've been hosting viewings at the Canterbury showroom, strictly by appointment, for slightly over a year now.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Poll: Would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? 🌿🐦

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Canterbury, you have a hidden treasure right on your doorstep ... though it does come with a 1.5-hour walk up the stunning Rakaia Gorge Walkway.

Along the trail you’ll find The Fantail Shop showcasing small artworks by local artisans. Even better, every purchase supports the Fantail Trust, helping protect and restore biodiversity on the north bank of the gorge.

So we’re curious: would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? (And for local biodiversity, of course 🌿)
