Aah cool... I grew up in HN and still return a few times a year to drive the SS Te Mata Peak and SS Tukituki Rd.

Remember getting to the bottom of the peak one time in my TR7 and my front brakes were literally on fire.... as in I stopped, they were on fire and melted through the rubber in the brake lines.... had to drive home on the handbrake

Cheers...is a tidy little unit, 20 years of grammar teacher ownership...though she could have learnt to park a bit better...(bloody scuffed rims)!
My wife refers to it as the bomb...and she doesn't mean it's 'DA BOMB!'

Speaking of Te Mata peak... this is one of my fave shots of My car and dad's up the peak, Christmas day, I think back in 2005. God I miss my Elise... ironically dad's got one just like it now

And my old car lives back with its original owner, not far from there in Taradale

[hip205gti]

...wonderful machines!

Here is mine
Nearly one lady owner.
First owners (less than a year) raced it in Benson and Hedges - Graham and Tony Lawrence. Then my mother owned it from 1987 to 2000 when I took it over.
My mother used to eat clutches - at least two so when got it I put a kelvar one in as it was due again!! No probs since  . 
The wheels are OK.
And yes it has a sunroof  (ah, shaddup!), some evidence of a small fire under the bonnet (eek!) a dodgy rubber seal on the glass on the hatch (poor repair job after a small ding), faded paint (mostly original) and otherwise pretty good with very tidy interior. Looks good after a good clean and a polish.
Put a whole new meaning to "drive it like it's your mothers!!"
