The 2002 National Rally was held at the seaside resort of Orewa, north of Auckland over the weekend 1-4 March 2002. There were over fifty vehicles on display, from the very new to the rare and exotic. Some pics from the Pride of Ownership public display appear below. Unfortunately the weather was not kind during the Saturday morning public display thus the dark nature of these photos, also necessitating all hoods up

Here Glen Mitchell's DS23 Pallas arrives amidst a car park full of beautiful Citroens.

As promised we had a preview of the latest Citroens to arrive in New Zealand. On the left is a V6 powered C5 and at right the Xsara Picasso.

Both vehicles have mutiplex circuitry enabling a multitude of features over conventional vehicles. Both vehicles impressed.
