Military Vehicle Collectors Club

New Zealand Military Vehicle Collectors Club

We are members of the NZ MVCC - this page will list information about the club in Canterbury and the South Island.

The New Zealand Military Vehicle Collectors Club (NZ MVCC) is a non profit organisation that was founded in 1979. It is part of a worldwide following and our membership includes people from all over New Zealand as well as some international members. The MVCC brings together enthusiasts and collectors together that are interested in the acquisition, restoration, preservation and safe operation of Heritage Military Vehicles. We are a family oriented group who welcome and encourage participation, in a non-competitive environment. You do not have to own a military vehicle to join the club - having an interest in them is just as important.

Those interested in joining the NZ MVCC should make contact with their local area representive - for the Canterbury region this is Jonathan of Tanks For Everything - click for contact details. The area rep can let you know when a local meeting is taking place for you to go along to and meet the club members in your area. The area rep can also supply you with a membership form for you to fill out.
