Hey friends, hope all is well.
If you have a few minutes give this a watch, here is a team that means serious business. We wouldn’t recommend entering the B class against them……

Hey everyone. Check out this new build care of Jared Parkers Motorsport and friends, looking fierce to challenge the Mainland Rally 2023 series.

In Canterbury next weekend is the iconic Ashley Forest Rally Sprint. Come along if you’re available and keep an eye out for some special machines and exceptional talent, including Jared Parker as he competes in his well dressed AE92 Levin featuring some Sadlers livery.

Jared Parker – Toyota Levin

At 10 weeks old, Jared was sent to ‘crew’ for his Father at Hawkes Bay Rally and that’s just the beginning of the story, so it’s no surprise we now see him here competing at the Ashley Forest Rallysprint.

Although one of the youngest in the field, Jared is looking to bring a vast amount of experience gained from racing an array of vehicles to give the hill his best shot.

He is well known for his efforts behind the wheel of the University of Canterbury Formula Student Vehicles in both NZ and Australia but is also in his rookie season of the Mainland Rally Championship with this stunningly presented, Black Top powered Levin.

Jared is fortunate to have support from: Gulf Oil NZ, Zestino Tyres, Sadlers Garage, Rodin Cars, Supakarts Christchurch, Managed Storage Solutions, Mills Albert, Dunedin Goldsmiths, Maidstone Enterprises and Straightcurve Garden Edging

Hey everyone, been a very long time without posts.
Sadlers have been busy over the break deep into the depths of a restoration. A very rare twist on a classic Mini, a 68' Marcos.
Arthur the owner has asked us to get this machine back up to track ready conditions after sitting for a decade and it has been an absolute pleasure to do so.
Coming soon to your rear view mirror....
Credit due today to a few friends, Karl, Richard and Arthur himself. As well as Dr Phil at PD Automotive and Uncle Larry at Swift Automotive. Remember without these old buggars and their decades of classic Mini know-how we're in real trouble, please support them.

Thankyou everybody for your support and custom through 2021, see you again on the shop floor. Full pace again as of Monday 10th.

Drop in and see us anytime in Plynlimon road.

Hey everyone, can you guess correctly who in the photo is older? Darryl or the Ford Anglia?

Another timeless classic in at the shop. As it turns out even these old girls need fuel to run!

Happy new year everyone, our first week back on the tools and we were into it at full pace. A photo of a car that came in, reminding us of the importance of vehicle servicing and maintenance. Not the correct location for a con-rod.

A hidden gem from a local customer. Theres a few hidden secrets in local garages we reckon.
