Take a whimsical trip to space with this Kiwi Space Shuttle tee.  This black tee showcases a beloved Kiwi icon, a classic car reimagined as a spaceship, blasting off into space. The design cleverly uses the shirt’s fabric to create the effect of deep space, ensuring a comfortable fit. The design is also available on garments for women and kids.

Because the strongest contrast between the colours of this design and the shirt are on black, which creates the effect of deep space, it is only available on black shortsleeve tees, and longsleeve tees, sweatshirts and hoodies.

Make it yours! This Kiwi space shuttle design goes the extra mile. We can customise the paint job on the car to match your classic MkII Zephyr. Just send us a photo of your real life (or dream) car and I we’ll collaborate to create a one-of-a-kind design, just for you!
