NZV8 234 will hit the shelves any day now 👀

Fronting this issue, we've got Edwin Abbott's rodded 1931 Ford Model A Tudor, followed by Andy Etchells' mental body swapped and boosted 1969 Ford Falcon XW, Carl Johnston's sacked 1967 Lincoln Continental, and heaps of event coverage.

Unfortunately, we experienced a printing error in the feature on Michael Walters' Kiwi as 1964 Holden Station Wagon EH, where two pages were duplicated, for which the team at NZV8 sincerely apologises!

To make up for it, you can have a read all about Michael's car a little early online: https://nzv8.co.nz/kiwi-as-64-holden-eh-wagon-dont-forget-your-roots/

The mag will be out in the coming days, so keep your eyes peeled!
