It all began in 1966 when a young, car-mad Colin Giltrap co-founded Hamilton's luxury car dealership, Monaco Motors. Colin soon expanded his retail interests to Matamata and Auckland, and in the 1970s, acquired NZ distribution rights for Porsche, Volkswagen, and Audi.
Now with over 18 prestigious brands, and locations spread across Aotearoa, Giltrap Group has grown to be a leading importer, distributor, and retailer of vehicles in New Zealand.
Giltrap Group has not only thrived in the automotive industry but also on the racetrack, as one of the most passionate supporters and funders of New Zealand Motorsport. Giltrap-backed drivers have won at Bathurst, Le Mans, Indianapolis, and Monaco, driving in Formula One, the World Rally Championship, and Supercars.
