Brockwell Run 9 November 2013


After so many recent washouts the Brockwell Run was blessed with beautiful sunshine. 

The new location at Fremantle Park was a great choice with much better access. Over a hundred cars attended the start.

1966 Renault Alpine

1954 Swallow Doretti. This is a really unusual car in Australia. Swallow Coachbuilding Company built sidecars in the 1920s and 30s before moving into sportscars in the years before the Second World War. Their most famous product was the SS Jaguar. After the war the SS association with Nazism led them to switch the model name with the company name resulting in the Jaguar SS. Swallow Sidecars however continued as a separate company and between 1954 and 1955 released this tidy little sportster. http://www.doretti.com/

I took the Karmann Ghia along

Stunning little Porsche 356 sportster

Probably the nicest Jaguar XK120



Jaguar E-Type, Triumph Spitfire and Morris Minor
