26.01 Australia Day: Classic Car Show

A massive classic car show was held in the Botanical Gardens for Australia Day! Here's just a couple of examples...

Austin MaxiObviously this is an excellent example of an Austin Maxi, but there are people still running these as every day transport! We've probably seen a handful of these about!

Holden ToranaA Holden Torana, anyone else think that its looks like it is based on a Vauxhall Victor - does anyone remember those?!

Vauxhall VivaA Vauxhall Viva! They love their Vauxhalls out here too! We saw a number of classic examples heading to the Summer Nats just outside Canberra on our way back from Sydney!

Mercedes Benz 280CEI know where I'm going to import my classic Mercedes Benz '200' from! There are plenty of good examples of these about, and most are the larger engined versions. In fact you can get any classic car you desire from Australia, even some classic Alfas or British Leyland models that have reduced to nothing but a pile of rust in the UK!

Citroen DSAnother pristine example, this time a Citroen DS, and just like the Austin Maxi there are a number of these being used as daily transport!!
