Classic Cars and Coffee 29 December 2019
The end of year Classic Cars and Coffee is always a huge affair and the end of 2019 was no different. Some 700 cars attended and were spread over three car parks.
You had to be early to get a spot. I arrived in the DKW about 7.45am. Here I am parked next to Dusan's 1965 Skoda Octavia.
Valiant Charger. My father in law owned a four door model exactly the same colour. I drove it for many years until an inattentive Hyundai driver drove straight into it. The Hyundai was completely destroyed and went flying off the road. I was amazed the driver managed to step out of the car unhurt. The Valiant's driver door and front wing was badly dented but I was able to drive away without a problem.
