If pre-booked, our clients are always greeted straight off their shuttle with a named placard and a smile from one of our volunteers.

Their Classic Car is waiting only a couple of metres away, polished like a mirror with driver holding the door for the lucky travellers to be taken wherever they wish for the day, always back in time for the shuttles to the ship for departure.

The whole process is easy, stress free and most importantly stylish! Let us hold the door for you when you stop in the Port of Timaru...

The lucky cruisers below travelled in a 1972 Daimler Sovereign and a Mk5 Jaguar, both Classics driven by their owners volunteering for the day to raise money for the Geraldine Vintage Car & Machinery Museum of which they are both members.
