Sunday the 25th of August, IMSMC, participated in the Council of Motor Clubs, Sydney motorsport raceway, Eastern Creek classic. 

19 IMSMC cars assembled in Area C, 5 x Fiat 850's were on pitt lane , as a celebration of the 60th anniversary of this great little car.  One Fiat 1100 sedan, was entered into the president's concourse representing our club. Each participant received a commemorative medallion of the 2024 event!

The day was buzzing with many historic classic cars of all makes and models... Our lap was held at 9:50am, each assembling in an orderly fashion and completed their "parade" without incident! 

So many comments from the general public at the conclusion of our lap, "These cars all sound fantastic"

The day proceeded with many visitors to our various displays... so many positive comments and interest in our great cars! Well done IMSMC. A fine contribution!

FerrAgosto 2024

Our day began with an 8am arrival and an 815am departure from the Officeworks carpark in Five Dock. In an orderly fashion, we created a wonderful display of Italian cars (all historic this year) along Parramatta Rd, bound for the streets of Five Dock.







Waves and smiles were plentiful! Upon arrival, on Second avenue, our reverse parking skills were put to the test and the display was complete. 21 classic Italian motor vehicles in all their glory. Our display attracted a crowd throughout the day - all day in fact.. many questions and so many stories told by people reminiscing about their experiences in cars like ours back in the day!

The streets of Five Dock were buzzing, everything from refreshing gelato, drinks, through to hot pizza, porchetta rolls and SO MUCH MORE, including live entertainment.


One familiar face (pictured) could not decide on which was his favourite car... when he was asked if he liked them all, he replied, "YES!"
