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
1953 Cadillac
Japanese sportscar royalty - Datsun 240Z
Holden EJs, EHs and FCs
1966 Renault Alpine A110
Bubblecar row - Isetta, Messerschmitt and Heinkel
Trojan (UK) built Heinkel Kabine
Messerschmitt KR201
This was the most interesting display of the day
About to set off
Budget motoring of the 1930s - Austin 7.
Recreated Messerschmitt Tiger
Morgan Plus 8
Chevrolet Corvette. The pioneer of fibreglas bodywork.
And with that we finished 2023.
Vintage Scott Bonnar Reel Mower
I have recently been clearing out the home of my aunty, who has been forced into a care home. It's a very sad business. As I've been going through her papers (she was a hoarder) I occasionally come across interesting old papers. Here's a 1968 Scott Bonnar reel mower owner's instructions. I can remember these old machines and I used one many years ago when I worked part-time as a lawnmowing contractor. Some of these old machines are indeed collectors items these days.
