A big weekend in Central Otago, as Arrowtown hosts the Ayrburn Classic. 

Hundreds of vehicles will be on display, from vintage to luxury, plus the new additions of motorbikes and boats. 

They’re also hosting New Zealand’s largest live car auction, adding a bit of serious money and competition into the mix. 

Director of Sunday Drive, Taylor Campbell told Mike Hosking the event is now in its second year, and has grown about three times the size.  

He says it’s almost sold out to capacity, and the stunning setting, the hospitality, and the cars make for a great mix.
