Milestones - The Tour of the Century

This documentary follows the Vintage Car Club of New Zealand on a 1985 commemorative tour. On 24 March 1985, over 90 vehicles and their owners gathered in Invercargill to honour a century of motoring. Then the Vauxhalls, Chevrolets and Fiats embark on a reverse Goodbye Pork Pie as the lovingly-restored vintage cars head from the deep south all the way to Cape Reiga, meeting Prime Minister David Lange en route. Marking a rare directing credit for late cameraman Allen Guilford, Milestones was written and narrated by John Gordon, who swaps A Dog's Show commentary for motoring trivia.

I’m converting petrol to pleasure!
