  1. The video looks to have been shot at the Whangamata Beach Hop - maybe. Note the license plate - it is the series sued in NZ from 1956-61, in the era when the plates were replaced every five years. Beginning in 1964 the country went to a system of permanent plates. He is able to use that plate as he had registered the number as a personalised plate. https://www.carjam.co.nz/car/?plate=102714
