In Paraparaumu, just north of Wellington (New Zealand) you'll find the Southward Car Museum, which houses a simply stunning collection of almost 400 motor vehicles, over 150 motorcycles, and three aircraft! The collection, originally started by Sir Len Southward has been built up over several decades and now features an amazing variety of vehicles representing New Zealand's automotive past, with a generous sprinkling of internationally famous vehicles as well.
