Perfect TEN
Motorclassica, the Australian International Concours d’Elegance and Classic Motor Show, celebrated its 10th Anniversary in 2019, with this year’s special show playing host to an equally special display of motoring history and automotive excellence.
THREE INTO TEN
Held over three days – 11 to 13 October - visitor numbers to this year’s Motorclassica were strong, despite the event being held on the same weekend as the Bathurst 1000. To ensure showgoers didn’t miss this year’s Bathurst, organisers made the smart move of televising the race on screens both inside and outside.
Across the three days, there was a lot to see, do and experience, with both the concours entrants and classic motor show display vehicles to see, speeches and presentations from a number of special guests to hear, demonstrations of restoration techniques at the Live Restoration Theatre conducted by Maskells Customs & Classics, the FutureLab interactive space and not forgetting the Club Sandwich outdoor display, sponsored by Lorbek Luxury Cars.
The traditional Tour Classica preceded the event, with this year’s drive of the classics (on 12 October) starting and Parliament House before concluding at the heritage-listed Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton, which has hosted every Motorclassica since the event’s foundation ten years ago.
