Celebration of the Motorcar - Sunday 29th November 2020


Celebration of the Motorcar is Perth's premier prestige and exotic car event showcasing a hand picked selection of exotic, rare and classic motorcars. 140 vehicles were on display in the beautiful Cottesloe Civic Centre, overlooking the Indian Ocean.

The Mclaren only arrived in Perth a few days before the show. It received the people's choice award for modern sportscar.

Far more appealing to me is this 1976 Maserati Merak.

As in previous years, I helped out with the set up and marshaling. One of the Bentley's drives in.
