TR Register New Zealand is a national car club for the TR Marque, formed in 1975. It serves owners and enthusiasts of TR cars and their derivatives across New Zealand, with around 300 members spread nationwide. The club's stated purpose is the enjoyment and promotion of the TR Marque in NZ, and it maintains a register of all TRs and their derivatives in the country — both on and off the road — with that provenance available to members and prospective members.

Who it's for

If you own, are restoring, or are considering a TR or a derivative model in New Zealand, the club is built around that interest. The register function means the organisation tracks cars in the country rather than only hosting social events, so it can be useful whether your car is currently road-registered or off the road.

How it's organised

The country is split into 10 Regional Zones — 7 in the North Island and 3 in the South Island:

Each region organises its own runs, events, and regular get-togethers at various venues on agreed dates. These local events and meetings appear on the club's event calendar.

National events

A National Event is held annually to bring members from different regions together. This National Weekend takes place at various locations around New Zealand, alternating between the North Island and the South Island.

Joining

The site states that membership is open and directs prospective members to a page explaining how to join TR Register New Zealand. If you want the register's provenance information or want to take part in regional and national events, that join page is the starting point.

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:

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.

TR Register New Zealand runs events at two levels: each of its 10 Regional Zones organises its own local runs, events and regular get-togethers, and the club as a whole holds one National Event each year, alternating between the North Island and the South Island. Local meetings are listed on the club's event calendar, so the calendar is the place to check for what is happening in your area.

Local events by region

The country is split into 10 Regional Zones — 7 in the North Island and 3 in the South Island:

Each region organises its own runs and events and holds regular get-togethers at various favourite venues on agreed dates. Because the schedule is set region by region, the mix of runs, meeting places and dates differs depending on where you are — the club does not publish one uniform national programme of local activity.

The event calendar

Local events and meetings are displayed on the event calendar. If you want to know what is coming up in a specific zone, the calendar is the intended reference point rather than a fixed annual schedule.

The National Event

A National Event is held annually to draw members of different regions together. This National Weekend is held at various locations throughout New Zealand, alternating between the North Island and the South Island. That rotation means the travel burden shifts between islands from year to year, which is worth factoring in if you are deciding whether to attend a particular year's event.

Who the events are for

The club was formed in 1975 and has around 300 members spread across the whole country. It exists for the enjoyment and promotion of the TR marque in New Zealand, and it also maintains a register of all TRs and their derivatives in the country, on and off the road — provenance that is available to members and prospective members. Events are organised within that membership community, so joining is the route to taking part. The club's site has a "Become a member today!" link pointing to how to join.

Practical points to check before attending

• Confirm your zone first. With 10 zones, the region you fall into determines which local runs and meetings are relevant to you.
• Use the calendar, not assumptions. Local dates and venues are set by each region, so check the calendar rather than relying on a recurring pattern.
• Plan around the National Weekend's island rotation. Since it alternates between North and South Island locations, some years will require more travel than others.

TR Register New Zealand splits the country into 10 regional zones — 7 in the North Island and 3 in the South Island — and each zone runs its own runs, events and regular get-togethers. To find yours, match your location to the zone list below, then open that region's page from the club site to see its local events.

The 10 regional zones

The club's homepage lists these zones by code and name:

That gives 7 North Island zones (AKL, BOP, HAB, NTL, WAI, WEM, WHT) and 3 South Island zones (CAN, NEM, ODS), matching the club's stated split.

How to work out which zone you fall into

The zone names are geographic, so the practical approach is:

1. Identify the main city or district you live in or near.
2. Find the zone whose name covers that area — for example, if you are in Hamilton, look at WAI (Waikato); if you are in Dunedin, look at ODS (Otago / Deep South).
3. If you sit between two named areas, check both region pages — the club does not publish a postcode-level boundary list, so the region pages and local contacts are the reliable way to confirm.

Where the boundaries are less obvious

Some zones bundle two areas together, which is worth noting before you assume you are covered:

• NEM covers both Nelson and Marlborough.
• WEM covers Wellington and Manawatu.
• WHT covers Whanganui and Taranaki.
• ODS covers Otago and the Deep South.

If you live in a smaller centre inside one of these combined zones, you are still in that zone — the events are organised regionally, not by individual town.

Finding your region's page and local events

Each zone has its own page on the club site, reached from the regional listing on the homepage. From there you can see what that region does. According to the club, each region organises its own runs and events and holds regular get-togethers at various favourite venues on agreed dates, and these local events and meetings are displayed on the event calendar.

So the two things to check once you have identified your zone are:

• The region page — for that zone's own information and activity.
• The event calendar — for the dates and locations of local meetings and runs.

National events, if your zone is quiet

Beyond the regional programme, a National Event is held annually to bring members from different regions together. The National Weekend moves between locations around New Zealand, alternating between the North Island and South Island. If you want to meet members outside your own zone, that is the event to watch for.

If you are not yet a member

The club describes itself as a national car club formed in 1975 for the enjoyment and promotion of the TR marque in New Zealand, with 300 members spread across the country. It also maintains a register of all TRs and their derivatives in New Zealand, on and off the road, and says this provenance is available to all members and prospective members.

The homepage includes a "Become a member today!" link pointing to how to join TR Register New Zealand — use that if you want access to the register and to take part in your zone's activities.

How to join

The site's own route to membership is a "Become a member today!" link that takes you to a page explaining how to join TR Register New Zealand. If you are considering joining, start there for the current joining process and any requirements.

Because the club covers the whole country through regional zones, it is worth identifying which zone you fall into before you join — that determines the local runs, events and get-togethers most relevant to you.
