On Tuesday, police released images of one vehicle - a small silver hatchback (pictured), believed to be a Suzuki Swift, Nissan Tiida, or other similar car - saying they want to speak to its driver and the passengers.
Police said the car entered the Northwestern motorway (State Highway 16) about 4.15am, and then about 4.28am stopped on the left-hand shoulder of SH16 between Westgate and the Brigham Creek Roundabout, before proceeding north to Kumeu about 4.34am.
Barford was last seen wearing a black jacket and blue adidas tear away pants late on the evening of 23 September.
The father of two is of medium build, 168cm tall with tattoos on his left forearm and right rear elbow.
