Hi, as some of you may have read, I am doing a magazine as a final project for my design degree at Otago, and am hoping to do a feature article on Sevens (of all sorts) in New Zealand. As a start, I am hoping that someone on here owns a seven near Dunedin or knows of someone that does. I'd be interested in writing an article on a few and doing a photoshoot with each. Wouldn't be too likely to become a real article, but I would gladly share the photos and such.

Heck, if anyone in the rest of the country has a seven, and is willing to help, I do plan to be travelling around a fair bit in June.

Cheers!
Nathan

Can't help... although Paul (dejoux) might be able to (?) But good luck anyway... would be really interested to see the finished product when you get there.

You could try Fraser Cars, they seem to have quite a strong club scene. A colleague from work is in the club so I'll ask if he knows anyone down that way.

Unaware of any Westfield 7's in the country although I am un-reliably informed there are a few Catering-Vans.
Best of luck

Cant think of anyone off hand who owns one. Closest I know of in Dunedin is an Elan, but doubt thats much help

My advise would be go to Classic Automotive and tune up centre on bond street and talk to them. They work on most of the nicer classics around town so can probably put you in touch with someone.

If they cant maybe try Merhtens tyres jsut along the road from them, therye mostly Jag and Triumph but you never know.

At the end of the day theres very few nice cars in Dunedin, even when you take into account the size of the population. One of the main reasons I dont live there anymore

There's this one for sale in Roxburgh.
It's been on the site for a while so might have sold.
Could be worth a ring, the guy might be happy to talk about even if it's been sold.

hi
I've got a Fraser 7 and would be willing to help any time you're in Auckland.
Actually, I'll also email you the club presidents details and you can ask him if there are any Frasers in your neck of the woods

I might just take you up on that offer Roger. Do you know of a few sevens in Auckland? Be fun to organize a group photoshoot/gathering perhaps. What about trackdays? Any in June or early July?

I think I will be coming up for the Rotorua rally at least.

Cheers
