Gold Country Car Rally

Last weekend heralded our Historic Car Club’s annual rally.  Mick and I weren’t as involved this year, so I had a chance to wander around the lovely cars during the lunch break.  There was a huge variety of cars entered this year.

The rally had a record number of entries and the weather was good.  You have to be happy with that.

The orange Ford ute was Mick’s favourite. 

The three below are local cars.  We do have some lovely cars in our club.

The next two are locals as well.

The little Anglia was a very popular car, winning its class.

I’m guessing this is a 1947 Buick (looking at the number plate)?  Another popular class winner with its straight 8 engine.

This rather classy Austin won best car in the rally. Notice the screen in front of the rear seat.  Rather posh.

I do like looking at all the bonnet emblems.  They are a real work of art from a very different time.

I think everyone had a great time.  It is a lot of work to arrange, but very rewarding on the weekend.
