The joy of a classic car show is never quite knowing what you'll see and in this regard, last Sunday's ninth annual ‘Motoring Expo’ delivered in spades.
Once again blessed with sunny weather, the park surrounding the Australian Motorlife Museum at Kembla Grange, NSW, was crowded with the usual diverse mix of veteran, vintage and classic cars and ’bikes, including this year’s oldest, a 1907 Schacht Motor Buggy.
Alan Miller’s High-Wheeler, made in Cincinnati, Ohio, was a trophy winner as was Reg Schwarze for his 1923 Alfa Romeo RLN (above).
Others who scooped gongs were Jack Croft for his newly restored Porsche green ’68 Triumph Spitfire, John Jenkins and his 1946 DeSoto Coupe, the 1964 Volvo P1800 of Russell Arnold and David Cawthorn’s 1964 Renault Caravelle.
Yet more winners were a ’38 Ford, a ’71 Falcon XY GT and a Firebird TransAm in honour of the recently departed Burt Reynolds. The People’s Choice was awarded to Chris Cassar for his 1956 Ford Victoria Coupe.
