Australian classics

A few pics of a few cars not often seen in our part of the world

Today I took part in the annual RACV Great Australian Rally. It is not really a rally in the true sense of the word, but more a scenic drive. It starts off in Melbourne and finishes in Mornington (at the Racecourse) where the cars are displayed. Mornington is a bayside town about 1 hour's drive from Melbourne. Any vehicle can participate as long as it is older than 25 years. It attracts all types of classic vehicles. Here are a few of the more interesting ones:

Australian made replica 1885 Benz
