There were 70 vehicles in the Gore Daffodil Rally for Cancer last month, which was double the previous year, organiser Denis Knight said.
The Sunday drive for charity also had more passengers crammed into the cars, from one to two last year, to full cars this time round, he said.
The organising team estimated about 190 people attended.
Now in its seventh year, this year’s rally had a mystery destination, which turned out to be Winton.
Mr Knight said those in the procession were given directions via a lot of back roads, to give an alternative yet leisurely experience for drivers.
Winton shops were open especially for the car run, and Mr Knight was grateful to the shop owners.
Many raffle tickets were sold — the donated tiger soft toy was the most popular item up for grabs, alongside the Ford cooler bag and Repco car care kit.
"Donated potted daffodils also sold very quickly," he said.
The rally was part of a nationwide fundraising initiative held by the New Zealand Vintage Car Club.
Gore more than doubled the amount of money made in 2024.
"On behalf of the Gore Vintage Car Club I would like to thank everyone who came along," Mr Knight said.
Members looked forward to making it even better next year, he said.
