New Zealand Corvettes

NZ Corvettes was said to be founded around 1980 by a Kiwi gentleman of English descent called Jim Maidens (who passed away in 1997) along with the support of a few local NZ Corvette owners.

From this evolved the first Vette get-together (known as the Corvette Nationals today) which was held in Nelson in 1981 with 16 Corvettes attending, a far cry from the numbers we see now.
The Corvette Nationals has also been held in the Christchurch region on a few occasions with the most recent in 2013 in Hanmer Springs with over 100 cars entering this event

There are publications of the Corvette Gazette, a New Zealand register along with information for the NZ Corvette Nationals available by joining the NZ Corvettes.
