members-only luxury car storage opens in Auckland
Auckland has just welcomed an unprecedented offering for the country's automotive elite: Matchbox, New Zealand's first members-only luxury car storage facility. The brainchild of property developer Mark Francis and business partner Zlatko Filipchich, Matchbox is located conveniently between Auckland Airport and the city's CBD.
The facility has been purpose-built to meet the needs of classic, performance and collector car owners. The secure, climate-controlled garage uses car stacking systems to maximise space, with each unit accommodating up to four vehicles.
But the service goes beyond storage as Matchbox offers full concierge support including WOF checks, insurance and registration management and pick-up/delivery services across Auckland.
'Matchbox is about more than just storage, it's about creating a home for cars and a community for those who love them,' says Francis. 'We saw a real need for a facility where vehicles could be cared for as works of art.'
Filipchich adds, 'Whether it's a classic Mini or a modern supercar, every vehicle gets the same meticulous attention. We take care of everything, so members can simply enjoy their cars when they want to.'
The facility is designed with lifestyle in mind, featuring a members' lounge, private lockers, and an automotive library. Its location makes it attractive to not only Auckland residents but also out of town property owners and international clients, who can fly in, pick up their vehicle and head directly to their destination.
Matchbox aims to cultivate a vibrant community, with regular events and social opportunities for members.
'Matchbox is a club as much as a facility,' Francis explains. 'We're building a community around a shared passion.'

2025 Mini Cooper SE Review
Mini's first electric Cooper went well enough but couldn't roam that far out of town. The new SE remedies that. The second-generation of the Mini Cooper Electric is here, in a couple of guises; the E with a 41kWh (37kWh usable) battery and the SE that you see here with a 54kWh battery pack (49 usable). Contrast that with the original 2020 version that had a 32.6kWh pack (29kWh usable). It offered a range that Mini claimed was around 230km but only in town. Used beyond city limits, and you'd be lucky to see 180km. That's similar to Mazda's MX-30 for range, and that expensive experiment lasted just two years. Equally, no surprise that the new electric Mini Cooper comes with either a modest battery (still bigger than before) or an acceptable size one in the SE and decent enough range (up to 402km WLTP). While this is primarily an urban car, it's one that Mini says has the kind of dynamics that make you want to take it beyond the city. So then you need a bit of range to get you there and back again. The bigger version has more power too. Yes, it is more expensive by $6k than the E ($61k vs $67k) but that's probably the best $6k you will ever commit to. Moreover, with a modestly sized battery pack of around 50kWh you can replenish from 65 to 90 per cent odd overnight using a 2kW portable charger. Zero to 80 per cent takes roughly five hours using an 11kW wallbox. A 10-80 rezip on a 50kW DC unit takes about half an hour. The point here is that charging is a chore and a bore so the less often and the less time taken the better. As mentioned dynamics are key here, so big battery packs are out of the question. But as lithium-ion tech slowly advances, the batteries tend to be more energy dense without growing in size. Not quite the same for the car overall, however; the original we tested in 2020 was 1404kg, this latest, admittedly in SE guise with more gear and a bigger battery, is now 1680kg. It has more range of course but the performance increment isn't huge. Back then with a 135kW/270Nm motor, it could get to 100km/h in 6.85sec. Now, with 160kW and 330Nm it did the same thing only half a second quicker, and that's much the same with the overtake, at 4.0 vs 4.6sec. However, with at least 50 per cent more range, no-one will feel hard done by, particularly when it's only $7k more than before. If you're just not up for an electric Mini Cooper, you can still buy a range of petrol variants, with the three-pot 115kW/230Nm 1.5 kicking off at $49,990. This also comes in a better specified Favoured flavour for a few thousand more. The $56,990 Cooper S gets a motor more befitting of a go-kart car, its 2.0 150kW and 300Nm motor giving it a sprint time of 6.6 seconds. There's still the JCW hot-shot as well, costing a few thou less than the Cooper SE. Mini looks with better tech This car is still a front driver, now with a 160kW and 330Nm motor. It has a bewildering range of drive modes, borrowed from the BMW mode book. But it's really only Eco, Normal and Sport that matter. The latter is accompanied by a 'wahoo' exclamation from the speakers when selected and that wears thin. Normal will do for the most part, as usual. There are three regen settings too, low, medium and high. Well, four if we're counting, the Adaptive mode. We preferred the high setting which is similar to single-pedal driving, only without being so abrupt. There's a new look too, better in that you can scarcely pick it apart from the ICE power variants. The original electric Mini featured a horizontal yellow line across the grille, signifying the electric innards. That's gone, and in its place a couple of yellow S badges instead. The larger mainly solid grille and low ride height impart a real impression of width, like it's set to pounce. There's still the iconic Mini Cooper shape, the big round LED headlights, and abbreviated overhangs. It remains recognisably Mini, something that hasn't really changed from the model's inception in 1959. It's much the same as the 911 in that regard then. Inside, there's the still iconic circular IFT and control screen, now a 240mm OLED offering for even greater clarity. Like all central controllers, this takes time to master. But there are several buttons on the dash that make the process simpler. One of these is the start-stop button, which some EVs don't have. We prefer this, especially as the Mini detects the key approaching and unlocks automatically. Same for locking; just leave and it does that for you. Alongside is a wee lever for D and R, and a button to the right is for P. Towards the left is the Experience button (drive modes then) while a little below those is another that is a shortcut to the menu that changes driver assistance stuff. And there's a shortcut to nixing lane keeping as well. Serious drivers may want to as they go about straightening curvy roads. This bongs a few times at you gently, quietly if it detects you're exceeding the local speed limit. You can cancel it if you want in the control screen. And it stays off. Mini makes use of recycled plastics and the like – there's no leather or chrome – so much of the dash and door cards are covered in a fabric-like textile. What look like leather-clad seats aren't real then, vegan something or other. Harder charging The latest Cooper E rides on a new dedicated EV platform co-developed by BMW so benefits from a touch more room in the rear. But the 210L boot remains marginally useful. Think grocery shop up for two. Splitfold the rear seats to enlarge it to 800L (69L more than before) and it swallows oodles of gear. The dynamics are even better than before, as the battery is between the axles for a better weight split. There's generous steering heft but it's still the darty thing it used to be. Ride will seem firm initially but at open road speeds it makes lots of sense. And even at town pace it's not sharp; good seats help. It's premium priced for a weenie but comes with premium items, like powered and heated leatherette seats with lumbar pump, seat memories and a massage function. The sports wheel is heated but the rim is a bit fat, like BMW items. Overhead is a full length fixed panoramic roof with ambient lights around the edge and a powered slide beneath. There's also one of the polycarbonate head-up displays, this one pretty good for clarity. And there's stop and go for the adaptive cruise while smartphones integrate wirelessly and there's a surround camera system for safer parking. Harman/Kardon supplies a premium sound system too. And there are enough crash smarts for a five-star ANCAP result. So it's a properly sensible update here, especially the SE. Somewhere out on the far horizon, the next-generation Minis will be rear or AWD, as they adopt BMW's Neue Klasse platform. The Gen6 800V architecture will also mean even more range and quicker charging. Mini Cooper SE $66,990 / 14.8kWh/100km / 0g/km 0-100 km/h 6.33s 80-120 km/h 4.02s (114m) 100-0 km/h 38.96m Speedo error 98 at an indicated 100km/h Ambient cabin noise 74.4dB@100km/h Motor output 160kW/330Nm Battery 49.2kWh Range 382km Drivetrain Single-speed auto / FWD Front suspension Mac strut / swaybar Rear suspension Multilink / swaybar Turning circle 10.8m (2.2 turns) Front brakes Ventilated discs (335mm) Rear brakes Discs (280mm) Stability systems ABS, ESP Safety AEB, ACC, BSM, LDW, RCTA, ALK, AHB Tyre size f/r-225/40R18 Wheelbase 2526m L/W/H 3858 / 1756 / 1460mm Track f-1521mm r-1524mm Luggage capacity 210-800L Tow rating 500kg (750kg braked) Service intervals Condition based Scheduled servicing 3yrs Warranty 5yrs / 100,000 km ANCAP rating ★★★★★ (2025) Weight (claimed) 1680kg

Land transport rules up for reform
There are plans afoot to overhaul New Zealand's land transport rules. Transport Minister Chris Bishop says the Government will be pushing ahead with reforms in a bid to increase productivity, reduce costs and improve efficiency across the sector. These should be more effective than a road cone hot line too. The review is part of the newly announced Land Transport Rules Reform Programme, which Bishop says is aimed at stripping out outdated regulations and easing compliance costs for road users and businesses. 'Land transport rules set out how different sectors of the transport industry must operate. They impact all road users – from the suburban mum or dad who has to get a Warrant of Fitness every year no matter how new or well-maintained their car, to the truckies who've been loaded up with compliance costs due to rules long since made redundant through advances in technology,' Bishop says. Examples highlighted by Bishop include the current Road User Rule that doesn't permit e-scooters in cycle lanes or allow young children to cycle on footpaths, and a reliance on hard copy letters – with 14 million mailed last year at a cost of $16.8 million. Bishop points to earlier consultation this year on reducing Warrant and Certificate of Fitness renewal requirements for motorhomes and vintage vehicles as a sign of the Government's approach to 'common-sense' reform. 'Now we're taking that same common-sense approach to other transport rules through a comprehensive programme of work to reform and update them, with most decisions expected to be made over the next 18 months,' he says. A key area under review is the introduction of additional safety requirements for imported vehicles, which could have significant implications for the used import sector. Seven streams of reform The Land Transport Rules Reform Programme includes seven key areas: Reducing WOF and COF inspection frequency for vintage vehicles and motorhomes. Introducing new safety requirements for vehicle imports. Reviewing WOF/COF requirements for light vehicles. Simplifying heavy vehicle licensing, weight thresholds and freight permits. Enabling digital driver licences, removing physical labels and stickers, and allowing online theory testing. Improving lane use, including allowing e-scooters in cycle lanes, children cycling on footpaths, and requiring vehicles to give way to buses. Overhauling the vehicle regulatory system to streamline import requirements and align with overseas standards. 'The work delivers on commitments in the Government Policy Statement on Land Transport and the Road Safety Objectives document to review the vehicle regulatory system to improve safety, reduce regulatory burden, and ensure our domestic rules are fit for purpose, investigate our warrant of fitness system to more effectively and efficiently target risk, and investigate new safety requirements for vehicles entering the fleet,' says Bishop. Some elements of the reform will take longer than 18 months, including the complete overhaul of the vehicle regulatory system and a review of the Vehicle Dimension and Mass rule. Consultation timeline Public consultation will begin in October 2025 on: Additional safety requirements for imports Changes to WOF and COF requirements for light vehicles Freight permitting changes Further consultation is expected in early 2026 on: Licensing weight thresholds Digital driver licences and e-documents Lane use and traffic control device changes A review of the broader vehicle regulatory system will begin consultation in mid-2026.
