Trade Directory

We think it’s vitally important to serve readers with quality and easily accessible information on products and services pertaining to the hot rod segment of the market.

Most of the products and services they/you need are highly specialised, custom made, one-offs, so finding the right suppliers is critical to meeting the hot rodders vision for his own unique creation.

For those reasons, we created the hot rod digital online Trade Directory so readers can find what they need.

NZ Hot Rod magazine stands out as the preferred choice of print magazines for those dedicated to the hot rod niche.

Its intrinsic value is appreciated by readers, many of whom retain collections right back to our number one issue in 1967 and it’s that longtime readership and engagement which has resulted in a deep and stable database.
