The largest and only vintage car dismantlers in Australasia.

The philosophy behind this collection is that whatever parts are not sold from any dismantled car stays, forever. Nothing is scrapped. This explains the vast collection of parts.

It is thought that this yard is unique in Australasia and a like establishment would be a rare occurrence elsewhere.

In 1981 the noted New Zealand film “Smash Palace” was filmed on location and consequently Horopito Motors is known internationally. For a small entry fee you can take a self guided wander through the yard and buildings.
