[MorrisItalSLX]

Here are my photos from this years National Motoring Heritage Day, not all cars were snapped (not by a long shot!) but there are still plenty to sink your teeth into.

 

It should be noted that I am not a professional photographer, just a bloke with a phone camera.

Let’s begin with the obligatory stationary engines:



Bonus lawn mower content:



And a sneak preview of what is to come:

[MorrisItalSLX]

BROWN S pack Ford Falcon Wagon looking very tasty



Holdens, various



Very shite Mitsubishi Galant and Volvo Estate



Another Mitsubishi Galant, this time in Chrysler flavour



Ford Falcon Panel Van in full “lock up your daughters” spec

[MorrisItalSLX]

A very sexy couple



Patina, part 1



How to tour Australia, 1980s style



A previously spotted Jensen Interceptor



I do love a Lancia, especially in beige

[MorrisItalSLX]

This Holden HJ provided NRMA roadside assistance in my area until the year 2000



Previously spotted Marina Big Six, owner is a nice bloke with another Marina at home



This Volvo was particularly dashing in 2 door guise



This Holden HQ Kingswood was straight out of the 70s



The Leyland P76 is really starting to be appreciated in the classic car scene, as evident by the crowd around this hot example

[MorrisItalSLX]

Who doesn’t love a Holden Kingswood? This HX example was lovely



This drove in sounding sweet as a nut, sadly I didn’t buy it



Patina, part 2



And I thought 2CVs were smol



Lancia really hit the nail on the head with the Beta HPE

[MorrisItalSLX]

Here is some big vulgar thing with Citroen CX mirrors



Holden’s Baby Cadillacs



More Holdens



Holden HQ Monaro GTS, dropping panties since ‘71



This VL Commodore looks the business, with bonus Telecom Australia branding

[MorrisItalSLX]

Jensen Healeys are the bee’s knee’s



Holden HQ Monaro LS, the luxurious version



Yet another Lancia Beta



Mike Brewer was wrong, these Canadian spec alloys are sexy #obscurewheelerdealersreference



One day I will own a W123, one day

I think you nailed it with the brown MK2 granny estate with the funny face. 

I like the racey commodore too. Is that a V8 Supercar or a touring car?

[MorrisItalSLX]

Prior spotted Merc 450SEL Estate by Crayford

 

 

Can you see the Mk1 Granada DNA?

 

 

There are still plenty of Series Land Rovers about in original, well used condition

 

 

Some Italian exotica, courtesy of Maserati

 

 

These two were glorious, the Fiat especially

It is interesting that the face is the only thing in common with the Falcon and the Granada (the XD Falcon shared headlamps with the Mk2 Granada)

The Commodore was probably a Bathurst 1000 racer, but I’m not 100% sure.

How can anyone dislike the styling of these Alfas? It is like a Peugeot 405 on steroids



Speaking of Peugeots...



The Citroen DS is pure elegance



I do like a sexy topless Swede



Green Triumph is green

[MorrisItalSLX]

This little Princess was very sweet



Plah!



Dolly Sprint looking grand in British Racing Green



Patina, part 3



I have an unusual attraction to TR7/8s

[MorrisItalSLX]

A pair of those strange modern MGB things



I forgot how teeny tiny Mokes are



Have another shot of that P76, this time with less people in the way



And that concludes my time at the show. I wish I had the time to photograph everything, but there was just so many fantastic cars.

To finish up, have a spot from my departure
