Owners of tractors, trucks, 4WD utes – anything with wheels and a motor – are encouraged to be a part of Mount Maunganui Rotary Club's first-ever auto show.

Proud vehicle owners have the chance to 'show of their wheels” at Mount Maunganui College grounds on February 23 for the inaugural Show off Your Wheels auto show.

Show organiser Les Cresswell says entries are not restricted to cars, instead being open to motorcycles, tractors, commercial vehicles and special purpose vehicles. In fact 'anything with wheels and a motor” can be catered for, says Les.

He reckons the show offers an opportunity for individuals who are not car club members, but have a 'special and loved” car, to show it off in public.

'Auto clubs of all descriptions are invited whether the cars are vintage, specific makes,
or modified.” With about 350 cars expected to attend the charity event, Les is confident the day will raise a lot of money for Rotary charities across the Bay of Plenty.

The Show Off your Wheels auto show is at Mount Maunganui College on Sunday, February 23, from 10am to 4.30pm.
