November's meet up was similarly well attended and I was early for once so got to have a good look around.
Lovely Mercedes-Benz 300 coupe
Two SIVA club stalwarts - NSU Prinz III and Paul Blank's Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, recently back from Bay to Birdwood.
Porsche 911
Later model Ford Capri drives in. I must admit I've not seen another of these British Fords in Perth.
Lovely Porsche 356 speedster
Two late model British classics - Morgan Plus Four and a JBA. Both are modern cars with classic styling.
MG Magnette
Volkswagen Karmann Ghia.
It's great to see another of these magnificent 'blower' Bentley's out and about. The Bentley owners should be commended for regularly getting their cars out on the road and driving them, not squirreling them away like museum pieces.
Peter Briggs was there again with another of his MG racers.
Probably my favourite car of the day. A Jensen built Volvo sports.
Yours truly snapped artistically by Tony Wong at the end of the morning. Since coming back from Adelaide the DKW has been plagued with performance issues. Idling has especially troublesome. For five years I've never had a single issue with the carburetor, but it seems like it needs cleaning out after every drive. Speaking with other drivers about this on Sunday I am now convinced the fuel has been contaminated with ethanol, which is damaging the fuel system. Western Australia doesn't have ethanol in its fuel but some eastern states do and although I always checked while we were away to avoid using any ethanol tainted fuel, I guess some did make it into the system. It's a damned pain!
As always, you know where to get your coffee!
The next Classic Cars and Coffee will be on 31 December.
