Every third Sunday of the month, Bunbury-Geographe Motor Museum host Carbies and Coffee in the museum carpark. This is like the Classic Cars and Coffee event at UWA, being an informal classics meet up.
Our car club had been talking about taking a trip down to Bunbury for the show for ages, but in March we made it. In fact, we had some 18 people attend! Above are two old Swedes - a 1963 Volvo PV544 Sport and a 1952 Saab 92B.
We took the Tatra along
Part of the club line up - Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Saab, Tatra, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz and an MG.
The Saab and Tatra are among the pinnacle of streamlining
A look into the Saab engine bay. The car is powered by a 750cc twin-cylinder two-stroke derived from a DKW design. The transmission however is completely different.
Early in the morning. We arrived rather early as we wanted to park together, but Bunbury is not Perth so we need not have rushed! It was a much more laid back affair than the mad rush at Classic Cars and Coffee.
Lovely Vauxhall
1950 Jaguar
Ford versus Holden. The HR Holden was the replacement of the legendary EH and the forefather of the Kingswood.
A lovely patinated Porsche 356C. We saw this car again at the Blackwood Rally.
Holden FJ
Chevrolet Corvette Stingray
Dodge
The Saab and Tatra would drive home together.... the Saab at a little distance as it has a maximum speed of around 82 kph!
