Chris Amon by Roy & Eva Harkness, 2025

A 2.4m statue of Kiwi motorsport legend, Chris Amon, stands tall in Bulls. Seven years in the making, an unveiling took place in June 2025.

Chris Amon was one of the first Kiwis to compete in Formula 1. He was involved in the sport from 1963 to 1976. Amongst his many victories was the 24-hour Le Mans race in 1966 with fellow Kiwi Bruce McLaren.

Designer Matt Gauldie penned the statue, and sculptors Roy and Eva Harkness bought it to life. The project was conceived by Paul Sharland, from the Bulls & District Historical Society.
