Classic Cars and Coffee 1 September 2024

It's almost here......Spring has almost sprung! 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. Remember that from this Sunday and through all of Spring, Summer and Autumn we are reverting back to our normal hours of 8:30 - 10:30am.

After the incredibly busy August Classic Cars and Coffee (I couldn't even get in), September proved a quiet event. It was nice to be able to enter without queuing and get a parking spot. It was the Karmann Ghia's turn to attend.

A rather spectacular Bentley

A true rarity in Perth - Danny E's ZAZ

Classic Cars and Coffee - Sunday 4th August 2024

This Sunday sees us have our last winter event before the sunnier spring weather welcomes us!

The last event was amazing and show's how committed the Perth car scene is, despite rain we ended up with close to 400 cars which is just phenomenal. Luckily this Sunday is looking like being one of the nicest days of late so hopefully a big crowd is coming along. As always, 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. Remember that this Sunday we will be operating our winter hours...that gives you an extra half an hour to sleep in and warm up! That means it is 9am-11am, NOT 8:30am-10:30am.

Also a reminder that JDM is again in the main car park.

See you all this Sunday.

Classic Cars and Coffee - 14 April 2024

The Cadillac and La Salle Club held their national meet in Perth April 2024. Cadillac owners from all across the country descended on Perth and put on a large display at Classic Cars and Coffee.

Flying the Cadillac flag

1953 Cadillac El Dorado. This car recently completed a lengthy restoration. This was the first year that US cars were offered in white as previous white pigments were not able to hold their colour.



1939 Cadillac Series 75 coupe

Magnificent chrome grill

1931 Cadillac Fleetwood



And as rare as one is, then there were two.





1947 Cadillac

1939 Cadillac Series 75

Austin 7

Ford Coupe

I've not seen this 1920s Fiat out at a show for a long time.

Front end of the 1946 Chevrolet Fleetline

Back end of the 1947 Chevrolet Fleetline.

Two rarities together - a pair of Panhard CT24s

These are rare cars anywhere outside of France but there are two in Perth

Post war Panhards are powered by a 700cc twin-cylinder boxer engine that is surprisingly powerful for such a small plant.

There was nowhere for me to park so I grabbed a spot on the grass.

Let's check out what this has to say


July event

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.

Moto Guzzi Eldorado. These are magnificent bikes.

Very handsome Velocette
