Although describing herself as "a navigator", Fiona Munro will be missed by the Otago branch of the Vintage Car Club, members of which organised a get-together to mark her move to New Plymouth.
As part of the occasion, Ms Munro received one final ride in a car which she knows well - Eleanor Harrison’s 1936 Chrysler.
The vehicle has been in Ms Harrison’s family since being imported as a farm car for her grandfather’s property, near Gore.
Although in the past it has transported everything from sheep to 44 gallon drums, today the vehicle - restored 30 years ago - is restricted to around-town driving and the occasional vintage car rally.
