Hobarts biggest car show.

Hi Guys.
Went to the "Shannons Auto Expo" yesterday. Beautiful weather, over 500 cars apparently, some amazing machinery. This is the cars show that our little club the FE HR Holden car club of TAS started, then got un-gracefully dropped from when Shannons decided the didn't need the club. Sad that a little club like ours was used as such.
Anyway, the car show is there & going very well, so we can be happy about that.

Some great cars there, but I only got a few shots, as I had just come off a 15 hour night shift & was a little zombie like.

A mates beautiful FC. Has a stack of 24 carat gold plating. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.





Nice slightly modded ute.


This A9X is perfect original. One of only 2 ever built with the "Special" option interior.


The owner recently had a serious offer of $125,000 but turned it down. You CANNOT understand how amazing this car is, without seeing it in the flesh. The guy also displayed his latest find. Another A9X in immaculate low mileage condition. This car was the only A9X built with the Lilac Blue metallic paint. Too busy drooling & talking to a mate, I forgot the photo!


Beautiful Monaro, THIS is the car I want.


Barn find 327 HK. Superb original unrestored.


My old XK.


Very nice....Ummm. can't remember. But ANY "Woody" is cool.


Greaat shot from the overpass. Just one section of the show.


Enjoy,
Rob J

Hi.
Yes, she is up for sale. He had been talking about it, but I didn't think he would. This car is magic. A hell of a lot of work has gone into this car. It drives like a dream & pulls the looks. If I had the cash & a wife that understood I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED more than 4 cars, I would nab it. Give him a buzz. He is a top bloke.
