The 2016 show expanded to include an additional display area within the beautiful grounds of the Cottesloe Civic Centre. The Vintage Sports Car Club presented a special feature display of historic racing cars dating back 100 years to celebrate their club’s 30th Anniversary. A 100 Years of BMW display was another feature this year.
A record 170 cars, including very rare cars such as Lamborghini, Bentley, Porsche, Rolls-Royce, Jaguar, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, Aston Martin, Ferrari and more… In excess of $35 million worth, with several cars coming from the eastern states this year.

Celebrating 100 years of BMW.
BMW Australia had intended to display a pre-war BMW 327 at the show but it wasn't running on the day. The display instead featured BMWs post-war range. This is a 1973 BMW 200Z wagon.
1972 BMW 3.0 CSL
The star of the BMW show in my opinion is this 1959 BMW 300 Isetta. After the war BMW found there was no market for their big cars and the whole automobile division was basically shut down. BMW rebuilt its fortune on its motorcycle range before moving into microcars. The Isetta was originally built by the Italian refrigerator company, Iso, but they struggled with capacity issues. BMW built the Isetta under license and turned it into a success.
