Classic Cars and Coffee - Sunday 6th August 2023
Dear car and bike enthusiasts...aka tragics! The team at CC and C are very much looking forward to this Sunday's event with a great array of new classics and rare modern cars expected. The weather is looking on point so we expect it to be a big morning. Remember that this Sunday we will be operating our winter hours of 9 - 11am, next month we will go back to our regular 8:30 - 10:30am times. Please see below information on some upcoming events and also information on The Long Run from our charity partners 'Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia'. Also just a reminder that JDM will take place in carpark 9 this Sunday!
After several weekends of rain and drizzle it looks like Sunday 6th August 2023 is going to be clear and sunny. Perfect weather for a car show. Come on down to the University of WA carpark with your vehicle or just come along to enjoy the show. It's free for spectators.
Sunday was a beautiful, sunny but cold morning. Time for a coffee!
A stunning MG A
The trusty old Commer van. You never see these on the road.
Studebaker Lark
Triumph TR2
New and old.
Citroen 2CV

Russian Ural motorcycle and Czech Velorex
The Velorex is budget motoring at its simplest. It's powered by a twin cylinder Jawa motorcycle engine. https://heinkelscooter.blogspot.com/2016/11/prague-technical-museum.html
Shannons Insurance and the Patron coffee van. https://www.shannons.com.au/
The modern Morgan three wheeler and a rallying Volvo Amazon.
Look at the cantor on the Skoda Octavia's rear wheels. The Skoda used independently sprung half axles.

It was time to take the Tatra out for a spin. No reverse parking this time.
The Commer creeps over the speed humps. One of the problems of "slamming"
It's interesting to overhear people talk about the Tatra. "Hmm, it looks just like a Volkswagen." Yeah, if you don't have eyes. https://tatrat600.blogspot.com/2023/02/tatras-self-licking-icecream-cone.html
1959 IWL Berlin scooter. https://dkwautounionproject.blogspot.com/2019/09/east-german-iwl-scooters.html
This little trio is a good example of the variety within the KBG club. https://kbgaustralia.org/
Two eastern block machines
Jim loves the Berlin!
