The Ellerslie Concours team, together with Meguiar’s New Zealand, hosted an exclusive Concours Masterclass at Matchbox, Penrose on Wednesday, 8 October 2025.

This invitation-only evening brought together a select group of classic car owners and enthusiasts for an expert-led session designed to elevate every detail of their vehicles ahead of the 2026 Ellerslie Classic Car Show.

The evening covered professional-level techniques, insider tips, and live product demonstrations — all focused on achieving that flawless, Concours-winning finish. Attendees had the opportunity to engage directly with Meguiar’s experts, gaining valuable insights into surface preparation, paint care, and the finishing touches that make a car truly stand out on the show field.

Beyond the technical side, the Masterclass offered a great chance for enthusiasts to connect, share stories, and enjoy a relaxed atmosphere surrounded by others who share the same passion for perfection.

The Ellerslie Concours Committee extends a huge thank-you to Meguiar’s for hosting such an inspiring and educational evening — and to all those who attended and helped make the event a success.

We can’t wait to see those freshly detailed cars gleaming under the sun at the 2026 Ellerslie Classic Car Show!
