Concorso D’Eleganza 2025

On Sunday, 28th September fifty member cars were presented at Gough Whitlam Park, Tempe, to show off our magnificent machines for the annual Concorso D’Eleganza, invited by the Alfa Romeo Owners Club of NSW.

The weather was beautifully sunny and warm—despite the forecast. It was pleasantly cool under the shade, with a panino and drink in hand.

Each member exhibited their wonderful machines for all to appreciate and admire. We are fortunate to have a diverse range of historic, classic, and modern Italian-made vehicles in our club. The designs that have come from Italia throughout the last century (and beyond) are the envy of the automotive world.

The day would not have been complete without an abundance of gelato, caffè, and panini. But above all, there were smiles and great friendships, shared alongside some of the finer homemade delights.

As always, our judges did an exceptional job, and we thank them for their time and efforts. It’s not an easy task, but they certainly made it look like a “walk in the park.” Thank you to Gerardo Mediati, Nat Stillone, Tony Portelli, Gianni Melissari, and Raffi Babkenian.

The four presidents of the respective clubs selected the wonderful Autobianchi Furgoncino as the “Car of Cars” of our display. Congratulations, Nat Stillone.
