There were hot rods, classics, street machines and muscle cars – all parked up at Fraser Cove and shining in the last of the day's light.
The 13th Tauranga Toy Run was a hit.
One of the organisers, Jill de Buisson, said it was probably the best turnout they had ever had.
"It's superb – over 200 cars. We've got two hot rods over there full of toys.
"We're very, very lucky. I just want to thank everyone. I'm amped with it, it's awesome."
