EnglishWhat is the TR Register New Zealand car register and who can access it?
Updated
The TR Register New Zealand (TR Register NZ) maintains a register of all TR marque cars and their derivatives in New Zealand, whether they are currently on the road or off it. The purpose of this register is to record the provenance of these vehicles. According to the club, this provenance information is available to both members and prospective members.
What the register covers
The register is national in scope and is not limited to cars that are currently registered, warranted, or in running condition. The club states its aim is to maintain a register of all TRs and their derivatives which are in NZ, "on and off the road." That means a car sitting in a garage, undergoing restoration, or off the road for any other reason can still fall within the register's scope.
The recorded information is described as provenance — the history and background of the vehicle. The club presents this as a resource tied to the register itself, rather than as a public database.
Who can access the provenance information
Access to the register's provenance information is limited to:
- Members of TR Register New Zealand
- Prospective members — people considering joining
The site does not indicate that the register is open to the general public, and it does not describe any public search tool. If you want to check or use the provenance information, the practical route is to join or make contact as a prospective member.
About the club behind the register
TR Register New Zealand was formed in 1975 and describes itself as a national car club for the enjoyment and promotion of the TR marque in NZ. It has around 300 members spread across the country.
For event and contact purposes, the country is split into 10 Regional Zones:
| Island | Number of zones | Zones listed |
|---|---|---|
| North Island | 7 | Auckland (AKL), Bay of Plenty (BOP), Hawke's Bay (HAB), Northland (NTL), Waikato (WAI), Wellington/Manawatu (WEM), Whanganui/Taranaki (WHT) |
| South Island | 3 | Canterbury (CAN), Nelson/Marlborough (NEM), Otago/Deep South (ODS) |
Each region organises its own runs, events, and regular get-togethers on agreed dates, listed on the club's event calendar. A National Event is held annually, alternating between the North and South Islands.
How to get access
The club's site directs interested people to a "Become a member today!" link to find out how to join. Membership is the stated path to the register's provenance information, and prospective members are also named as having access. The site does not publish pricing or a login requirement for the register itself, so those details would need to be confirmed directly with the club when you enquire about joining.
