Description

A Blokes in Sheds take on New Zealanders' love affair with old British cars. Centred on the marques of the late forties through to the end of the sixties - Humbers and Fords, Vauxhalls and Rovers, Hillmans and Austins - The Cars We Loved collects together the stories of the owners, fixers, drivers and lovers of those cars.
This is a celebration of both an era of British cars and the generations of New Zealanders who owned these cars between the end of WWII and the late sixties.
