At 9:00am, Parramatta Rd was transformed in to the Via Appuania, with Italian motor vehicles of all shapes and sizes, historic & modern classics, each greeted and respected by the Sunday morning traffic in Sydney.

Upon arrival, our machines looked great, as our members parked with great efficiency and respect of the public alike.
