For many years, Ken’s 1962 Austin Cambridge has been more than a vehicle. It has been a source of pride, enjoyment, memories, and a reflection of his lifelong passion for classic cars. Now, in one final act of generosity, he has chosen to gift his treasured car to Hospice South, ensuring that something he loves can continue making a difference long into the future.
What makes this gift so remarkable is not simply the value of the car itself, but the story behind it. Like many classic car enthusiasts, Ken has devoted countless hours to preserving and caring for a piece of motoring history. The Austin Cambridge has been part of his life for many years, representing cherished memories, personal achievement, and the joy that comes from sharing a passion with others.
Rather than keeping this beloved vehicle within his family or selling it privately, Ken has entrusted it to Hospice South with the hope that it can continue its journey in a meaningful way. Through its upcoming auction, the Austin Cambridge will become a lasting legacy, helping to fund specialist palliative care and support for patients and whānau across our region.
Every bid placed will represent more than an interest in a classic car. It will be a contribution to compassionate care, comfort, dignity, and support for local families facing some of life’s most challenging moments.
While the Austin Cambridge will soon find a new owner, its impact will remain firmly rooted in Southland. The memories it carries, and the generosity it represents, will continue to touch lives long after the final hammer falls.
Auction details will be announced in the coming weeks. In the meantime, we invite classic car enthusiasts, collectors, and supporters of Hospice South to register their interest and follow the journey of this remarkable vehicle.
Auction details to be confirmed. If you would like to be among the first to receive information about the auction, including viewing opportunities and bidding details, please register your interest with Hospice South.
