Selling something special? We’re inviting owners to consign collector vehicles for The Ayrburn Classic 2027 live car auction.

Your car will be professionally photographed and filmed, showcased at Ayrburn, and presented to collectors across New Zealand and beyond. Then comes the moment it’s driven onto The Dell for live bidding.

There are just 60 places available for the 19–21 February event in Arrowtown.

Swipe through to see what’s included in the $995 vendor package, then register your interest via the link in our bio.

After an incredible inaugural auction in 2026, Sunday Drive is returning to Ayrburn in 2027 — bigger, bolder and with an extended two-auction format.

This time, the action will unfold across Friday night and Saturday afternoon, bringing two live auctions to New Zealand’s most spectacular automotive weekend.

With entries strictly limited to just 60 vehicles — and last year’s event selling out — we’re now inviting owners of exceptional classic, performance, prestige and collector vehicles to submit their cars for consideration.

COULD YOU BE NZ’S NEXT AUTOMOTIVE CONTENT PERSONALITY? 🎥🏁

Sunday Drive is searching for a confident, creative on-camera personality to become an ongoing organic face of our social media.

This is a paid, Auckland-based opportunity to create short-form content with the incredible cars passing through Sunday Drive, capture the action at our auctions and events, uncover collector stories, and interview automotive experts and ambassadors.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Is natural and confident on camera
• Has strong creative and storytelling instincts
• Can create engaging short-form content
• Is reliable and available for regular filming in Auckland
• Is genuinely curious about cars - even if they don’t know everything yet

Personality, potential and great ideas matter more to us than follower count.

The successful creator will also receive a one-on-one presenter coaching session with Sunday Drive ambassador Laura McGoldrick.
