The America’s Cup visits Miles Toyota, ILAM Toyota, and Pacific Toyota!

Thanks to the team at the Kiwi Cup Tour, Miles Toyota, ILAM Toyota, and Pacific Toyota were thrilled to host the world’s oldest sporting trophy – the iconic America’s Cup.

Arriving in Christchurch and Tauranga as part of its nationwide tour, it was a rare opportunity for the people of New Zealand to see the prestigious America’s Cup up close in the flesh and snap a memorable photo with it. What’s more, fans also had the chance to sign the supporters’ sail, which will be displayed at the team’s HQ in Barcelona come October. We were thrilled to play a small part in helping to bring this experience to the community, making it a day to remember for some of the biggest fans!

Read on for more and a selection of photos from the visits.
