BRINGING ENGINE ENTHUSIASTS TOGETHER SINCE 1889. MANGATAINOKA MOTORS
Right here at Tui Brewery on the last Sunday of each month we invite car and motorbike owners to bring their ride to participate in one of our Mangatainoka Motors Show and Shine Days.
Are you the owner of a vintage, classic, or Hot Rod? Do you have a V8 that sets hearts quivering and gets heads turning? Are you team blue or team red, and do you have a sweet ride that represents your loyalty? Or perhaps you think two wheels are better than four? Well, our Toki Motors Shows will get your motor humming. Well known by all Kiwi engine enthusiasts as a fabulous day out, these shows give you the chance to display your sweet ride for other car lovers and the general public to enjoy, and you can compete to win some epic prizes while you’re at it! Now, we bet that got your attention.
While you are at Tui Brewery, enjoy the live music, delicious food, a cleansing ale, order a tasting tray and take our Beer Masterclass, take a look at our Histui Museum, or do a bit of shopping for merchandise at the Tui Shop. Or simply kick back, relax, and catch up with family and friends while others check out your ride.
