Classic Cars and Coffee 27 December 2020

Sunday 27 December 2020 - Classic Cars and Coffee

Last one of the year. Business School Carpark, Hackett Drive, UWA https://www.classiccarsandcoffee.com/

1988 Classic Tiffany. A custom exotic built in the 1980s for celebrities and those wishing to 'make a statement.'

I took the DKW along. It hasn't been out for some time, in fact not since I had the fuel pump and carburetor replaced. It had been getting harder and harder to start for quite a while, which I had put down to lack of use. It turned out that the vacuum fuel pump was barely functioning. I had a new pump membrane put in. After a little tuning and cleaning of the carburetor the performance has returned. I am thinking of installing an electric fuel pump however. 

The Cadillac contingent arrive

Peter Briggs arrives in his 1929 Bentley. What a beast.

Triumph TR2

I think this is a Toyota Crown?

Rolls Royce Phantom II

The Chevrolet Corvair is an extremely underrated car. Despite everything said about it, it is a real pleasure to drive and handles exceptionally well.

Being the biggest Classic Cars and Coffee of the year, people tended to arrive early and correspondingly left early. Apparently there were 750 vehicles in attendance - a good result. So, that wraps up 2020. Here's to 2021!
