David Mehrtens (1971-75) has again been involved in organising the annual Penrite Mainland Classic Car tour.
David and Christine Mehrtens - another car classic successfully completed |
Hosted in mid-October, the Classic started in Christchurch and finished in Dunedin eight days later with 40 vehicles – ranging from Bentleys, Rolls Royces, MGs and Ferraris – driving up to 220 kilometres a day and not always without some mechanical issues.
Communities through which the Classic passed used the event to raise funds for their own projects with a number of schools supportive along the way.
David and his wife Christine have been involved with the organisation of all nine Penrite Mainland rallies over the past 16 years.
