Sunday 28th September saw several members of the IMSMC display their cars at the classic Italian motorcycle association show & shine at Club Italia at Lansvale.
Sunday dawned fine & warm, a perfect spring day!!
We had a very pleasant drive, enjoying the exhaust note with the windows down, arriving at Lansvale just before 9am.
With the cars being displayed in manufacturers order, we parked the Alfa & joined the other members in setting up the banner & club table.
Together IMSMC had a total of six cars on display on the day:
-Adrian’s Alfa
-Charlie’s Toppolino
-Gerardo’s Abarth 695
-Joe had both his 500 & His Punto
-Phillip’s 500
-David Johnstons' 500
-Joel's 124
There was a constant stream of motorbikes with all makes well represented.
Unfortunately for the cars some of the more expensive marques weren’t represented at all.
There were 5 Alfa’s, 2 Detomaso Pantera’s, 18 Fiat’s, 1 Lancia, & 3 Maseratis in total.
There was a steady flow of interested lookers only too willing to share their memories of their time with their Italian car.
We enjoyed some of the beautiful sunny weather & had some excitement when a small grassfire broke out not far from us, which bought out the Rural fire service to extinguish.
For those looking for some shade there were some nice shady areas around the motorbike displays, or, you could enjoy watching the Bocce tournament, or enjoy a cold Beverage in the club.
Before too long it was time for presentation & it was a credit to Gerardo to be awarded best Fiat on the day for his lovely Abarth 695.Congratulations to Gerardo on his award.
It was a very nice relaxing day with the club display looking good & plenty of people showing interest in the club.
A special thank you for Adrian King who provided the write up and photos for this event.
