Classics by the Beach: March, 2023


March, 2023's, edition of Classics by the Beach - held 10 minutes' drive from Hobart's CBD, at Sandy Bay’s Long Beach - wasn't as well attended as it has been of late.  However, that didn't even slightly affect the quality of the cars in attendance, as the following photos will show.


The Giulia Super on the right of the image above is a semi-regular at Classics.  Its spectacular neighbour, on the other hand, is a new and very striking addition to the event.  Rumour has it that its owner has also recently joined Club Motori Italia, where there's no doubt that he'll be made very welcome indeed!  Benvenuto







This Datsun 1600 / 510 is the very definition of a "survivor car," wearing its fifty-plus years of existence with pride.  Sure, it's not perfect but, considering its age, it's in wonderful nick with barely any rust, straight panels, good paint and straight, relatively unblemished brightwork.  The sun-visor and original hubcaps topped it off nicely, too.


















This groovy Morris 1000 has just joined Lester's stable.  UMPH doesn't know much about the car yet but a quick inspection noted that those Superlites hide a set of front disc brakes, so who knows what other goodies lurk beneath its metallic purple skin?









Nothing at all is known about this rather big, very imposing Merc.  It's damned cool, though!
