    Motorclassica 2014 is on again this weekend:

    motorclassica

    Being a captain of industry, I attended the opening party last night which was entertaining, food and drinks laid on, even PP would have struggled to get through the fare.

    Gina Campbell is a guest of honour, there's a really good display of Donald's memorabilia and there's a great display for the 100th. of Maserati (See the two OSCAs in the pics) and 50th. of the Mustang.

    A couple of special cars there, of particular interest to me was the Mercedes-Benz 220 SL. This vehicle is actually a prototype that looks like a 190SL, the factory made 4 in total fitted with a 2.2 litre 6 cylinder. Of the 4, only one remains, and it's incongruous that it resides in Australia.

    Cavallino Motorsport are displaying a very nicely restored 365 GT/4 that's not red, thanks. And it looks great. Not much in pre-war offerings this year, perhaps the owners have all died off!

    The Auction Saturday evening features a a Bentley R-type Continental (That was originally sold new from the Exhibition Buildings) amongst an eclectic collection of other goodies.

    Motorclassica Classic Car Auction | Theodore Bruce Auctions

    There are always good club displays around the periphery of the building too.

    Some pics from last night. (Note the whomosexual spotted by the Sebring)

    Pretty sure Greg's having a celebration up in Oxford Street Darlinghurst at the Tool Shed about now. Not too sure if cars are involved however.
