Upper Middle Petrol Head:

The final 2021 installment of Hobart's finest and longest running free car show was a wonderful culmination of what was, at best, a marginal year all-round.  Fortunately, Australia's island state, Tasmania, has been almost entirely Covid-19 free but still the dreaded pandemic has cast a pall over many aspects of our usually idyllic lifestyle.  Car lovers - especially those who consider a drive to Sandy Bay on the first Sunday of each month a staple of their calendars - have no doubt found some respite from the year's travails in their automotive passion.  I know that I have! December's event may have been a bit smaller than it has been over the last few months but that didn't detract from the quality of the assembled vehicles, as I hope these photos will demonstrate.  The three Italians - three and a half, depending on your definition of a car - that lead today's coverage were all beautiful, as were the remainder of the otherwise predominantly British fleet.
