Classic Cars and Coffee - Sunday 31st December 2023
As expected, the New Year's Eve Classic Cars and Coffee was a huge event. I chose to ride my 1954 DKW motorcycle so I could avoid the long queues of cars trying to get in. As I rode along Stirling Highway towards UWA there was a stream of classic cars driving on towards Fremantle - obviously having seen the queues and decided to give it a miss.
Slipping through the traffic
Japanese classics
Moto Guzzi Eldorado. These are magnificent bikes.
Very handsome Velocette
The great grandson of my DKW RT250 - MZ ETZ250 from East Germany.
A very old Brough Superior outfit
Another Moto Guzzi Eldorado. This too is an ex-police bike from Los Angeles.
Monkey bikes
Show winner for the modern dreck award - Rolls Royce piece-of-shit. They really are an eyesore.
DeTomaso GT4
Classic 1980s motoring and extremely rare in this condition - Datsun 120Y
Very unusual - Gwyne 8.
Morris 8
Cadillac Eldorado
And an Oldsmobile in the rear
Quite an unusual Volvo

Bubblecar row - Isetta, Messerschmitt and Heinkel

This was the most interesting display of the day
