The Dutton Garage Anzac Day Malvern Run saw a huge contingent of amazing vehicles tour the roadways of Malvern after gathering for a viewing at the Darfield Recreation Reserve carpark. Numerous locals turned out to see the cars, many of which are extremely rare, very valuable, and were all in outstanding condition. Unfortunately one or two vehicles enjoyed their car-park experience so much they were reluctant to leave, but other than that everyone set off around Darfield streets, much to the delight of those watching
from windows and driveways. “My old Jaguar decided that it didn’t want to do the run; so the fuel pump went on the blink in the car park, which was very considerate of it,” laughed local event organiser Malcolm MacGibbon. MacGibbon “Other than a couple of punctures and minor mechanical adjustments along the way, everyone managed to complete the run,” Malcolm added. A highlight for Malcolm was to be accompanied by Selwyn Mayor Sam Broughton at the start of the event. “I was able to share the delights of my very

old Renault with him and when he said he would like to do the run with his family next year, a car has been arranged,” Malcolm said. “Other highlights were to have 25 cars over one hundred years old and a goodly number of Darfield people along to see them all. It was also great to see a Model T Ford attend that has been in the district under
the same family ownership all its life,” Malcolm enthused. “It was also nice to get so many texts and emails after the event, from people who participated, thanking everyone involved for such a good day and how they would definitely be back next year. I guess I will have to do at least one more,” he concluded with a smile.
