The day of the much-awaited and publicised Kenworth 50th gathering finally arrived in Tauranga on Saturday, 13 September. Held at Bay Park, Southpac organised the event to celebrate 50 years of Kenworth Trucks in New Zealand.
Friday afternoon saw a steady stream of Kenworths arrive, continuing through to 10am on Saturday morning when the gates closed and the event opened up to the public.
Three-hundred Kenworths came from all over the country with a strong contingent having made the journey up from the South Island. There were beautifully restored examples, immaculately presented working trucks and many brand new trucks that were still yet to be put into service.
The only uncontrollable factor was the weather and unfortunately the rain came down for much of the big day. However, this was still the biggest ever single brand truck show in New Zealand and in spite of the weather, it did not fail to impress.
