Highlights from the history of Macaulay Motors which is now in its 75th year of operations are recalled in the following account.

Almost immediately the major problem was congested floor space and within 12 months investigations were being made for larger premises. World War II delayed the expansion plans but the bulk store was retained and during the war was sublet for the storage of wool. In 1956 at a cost of over 20,00 pounds the dealership built new showrooms, offices, a parts and accessories division and staff facilities. This provided a modern new car pre delivery section, a truck and tractor parts department, truck servicing shop and used car department.
This new area began operations in 1964 leaving the central city area as purely a new car sales site with servicing and parts department. Successively over the years the dealership acquired more property bordering Fox Street Liffey Streets. This meant that Macaulay Motors for the 1 st time in some 20 years had all of its facilities in the one area. The site has undergone many changes and significant expansion since the late 70's.
The original Avenal 1 site now Avenal Park Funeral Home and Riverside Rentals, was sold and tractors moved to our current site in the early 80's. With the significant growth seen in the Wakatipu area over the last 20 years we now have a full Ford and Mazda Dealership with Parts, Service, New and Used vehicle sales in the Frankton Industrial Estate. In 1995 a new company called Southland Tractors was formed and it was decided in 2001 to move the tractor operation to a purpose built facility, so land was purchased at Lorneville and a new dealership was built for Tractor operations which opened in August 2002. A new showroom was built on our current site at Avenal to accommodate the Mazda brand and this opened in 2006.
In 2005 two properties directly opposite on Fox Street were purchased which is now our parking area for all New and Used vehicles. In 2008 the Pizza Hut property was purchased on the North West Corner of Dee and Fox Streets, the building was demolished and our Used Commercial and Budget Yards now occupy this area
