2020-10 CARS OF THE WORLD
MCMA members were invited to display an interesting range of vehicles on The Levee on October 24th. By invitation, vehicles manufactured in Australia, Britain, Japan, countries of the European Union and the USA, from the 1920s to the 1980s, were displayed in all of their glory. This was an excellent event. Despite the rain, there were many lookers, and for once a vast majority were families and members of the general public.
Kevin's 1981 Datsun 280ZX at Bulga. My phone battery had completely discharged at Cars of the World by the time I got to Kevin. Kevin and his Datsun were certainly there in all of their glory.
Ian with his stylish, comfortable and fast 1988 Jaguar Sovereign V12. The V12 was intended to be launched as an option with the outstanding XJ6 in 1968, but development was delayed and it was introduced in the Series 3 E-Type Jaguar in 1971.
Tony with his 1946 Austin 10. These little cars with their 1930s stying and engineering helped the United Kingdom's export drive immediately after World War II.
This lovely 1978 Triumph TR7 belongs to John, and is currently for sale. The TR7 was the last of the famous series Triumph sports cars in volume production, although a low volume TR8 was available for a short time.
Bob is the proud owner of this fabulous 1926 Rolls Royce 20 hp. A Rolls Royce has a presence, whether it is parked, on the road or in the manicured gardens of an English country mansion.
Gordon and his quintessentially French 1955 Citroen Light 15. Remember them is those French movies of the '50s and '60s.
Andrew with Julie and her highly collectable Australian muscle car, a 1977 LX Torana SLR5000 A9X.
Andrew and Julie with his racey 1976 Valiant VK Charger 'White Knight Special'. Hey Charger!
Lindsay and Ann with their rare 'last of the line' 1981 Chrysler Valiant CM (4-speed manual) that they have owned since new.
John with his 1968 Holden HK GTS. These beautiful cars really 'got people talking' in the late '60s even before they had won two Bathurst 500s in a row.
Veronica and Trevor with their multi-trophy winning pride and joy, their 1964 Holden EH Utility.
Warren loves his 1964 Ford Mustang Coupe, especially that V8 rumble.
Rick and Helen and their eye-catching 1969 Porsche 912 Targa. This model is the last of the 4 cylinder rear engine Porsches.
This 1970 Datsun 160 has been in Ken's ownership for many years. These cars made a huge contribution to the success of Japanese cars with their comfort, standard accessories, performance and economy. They were also very successful in rallying.
Di and Peter's very popular and eye-catching 1930 Ford Model A Deluxe Sports Coupe.
Proud owners of the wonderful 1930 Ford Model A Deluxe Sports Coupe, Di and Peter, complement their vintage car with exquisite period dress.
This 1977 Cadillac Coupe deVille d'Elligence of Mick's is representative of the size and opulence of post-war American cars.
Bill devotes lots of time to enhancing any display of his very popular 1943 Ford GPW Jeep.
This 1950 Buick Straight Eight Anniversary of Jim's is the stuff of post-war film stars - cruising Hollywood Boulevard and lining the driveways of the rich and famous.
Daryl and his 1929 Buick 29.25 Tourer Silver Anniversary. His top restoration of this Buick makes it worthy of a starring role in any 'roaring twenties' movie.
John with Barry's excellent 1955 Peugeot 203. This model is of great significance in Maitland. It is the model driven by Maitland chemist Ken Tubman to victory in the inaugural Redex Round Australia Trial in 1953.
This 1990 Toyota Celica GT4 of Barry's was a sensation upon release and now very collectable. They are turbocharged and four-wheel-drive and took the rally scene by storm in the late '80s and early '90s.
English style, elegance and speed go only part way in describing Peter's beautiful 1957 Jaguar XK150 drophead.
