Evening all,

Rolled along to the Eastern Creek Classic today and saw a huge number of cars, a few of which I'll share with you

Let's start with the Alfas:





And the Montreal yum

(read more about it hear: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfa_Romeo_Montreal )



Note how the gear shift is sitting up on a little box:



Now for an Austin 7



There were quite a number of these and you forget how tiny they are. One limped back in following a genteel parade lap weeing coolant all over the place.

Then onto Fiats:





When I was a kid I remember getting a matchbox model of one of these and wanting the full size one desperately. Now... not so much





Given this is Australia I'd feel guilty if I didn't include a photo of one of these:

Now we've got the big ugly cars out of the way, we'll look at some more:

This is a 1904 Innes. So far google hasn't helped explain anything about this one:



Then the Jowett Jupiter.

Messerschmitt time

I actually remember walking to school in the late 80s/early 90s and someone around Baulkham Hills used to drive one of these quite regularly.

When you get caught up in the minor differences between the different year model Beetles and Kombis and so on, you forget that some other cars also changed a lot. Seeing these two stuck together reminded me of that:



I'm also not sure what was going on with the back of this one and whether it was a factory job or not:



A rear engined cousion that we try not to talk about (although I think it looks quite good):

I saw these two minis today when I was driving home from Palm Beach. They looked great.

And finally the VWs



I didn't spend much time looking at them, but I did dwell over this kg







I think that's it, I hope you enjoy them.

With so many motoring delights to inspect why waste time on the Volkswagens that we see all the time, smart thinking Gwendolyn.
