The Farmobil is a strange amalgam. It was designed as a multipurpose agricultural vehicle by the German tractor company, Fahr,but due to capacity issues it was outsourced to a Greek company for the bodywork. Engines were supplied from BMW from their twin cylinder R series motorcycles, and then sold internationally by Chrysler. Only 300 odd were built and most were sold in France.
What the hell is a Farmobil? The answer - an extremely rare vehicle. There are possibly only two or three left in the world.
Attention to detail. Farmobil owner Mark discusses the matters of suspension.
NSU Prinz 4. This car was one of a small number imported by NSU to test the Australian market in the late 1950s. The German NSU company had a factory in Melbourne assembling the Prinz 3, which sold very well. By the time the Prinz 4 arrived the market had moved on and NSU decided to retire from the Australian market.
Chevrolet Corvette. This car was owned by Robert Wagner and is a regular visitor at Classic Cars and Coffee.
Not all Ferraris are red.
But some Ferraris are. This Ferrari Dino is a handsome vehicle. Once they became wedge like, I lose interest.
Rebadging is obvious between the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow and Bentley are placed side by side.

The Aston-Martin Nationals were held in Perth that weekend. Around 50 Aston-Martins were in attendance.

These 1970s Aston-Martins look like a modern Ford Mustang.

The most interesting car at the show in my opinion was this Bristol 403. Bristol purchased Nash's license to build BMWs in the UK after the Second World War. The BMW heritage is visible in the styling and double kidney radiator grill.
The 403 is beautifully streamlined. They were a very exotic, small volume manufacturer who only closed up shop recently.

Classic Cars and Coffee would not be what it is without the tireless efforts of organisers Paul and Natalie Blank.
