Default Brissie Classic Car Shows

I saw my first RS2000 in Brisbane the other day and it took me back to my early driving years when I yearned for one. A number of years on and I still have yet to own one and probably never will. Still, I was wondering if there are regular car shows organised in and around Brisbane. I would love to get up close to some of these classic sports cars. If there are no shows then perhaps someone knows of a dealer who specialises in selling them then I could pop in to take a look and consider getting a second weekend-only car.

I'm a member of the "Moke" owners club !

With RS2000 they did a 4 door version here which to me does not look that hot!

harrys diner is in towards the cbd..

its a venue, bit like the FONZ... but on fridays, lots of ppl met up with super hot rods, classics and sports cars... you just walk around car park, with a stubby or 3 and admire the sheer beauty that ppl have adorned onto their metallic friends !!

I know it's not Brisbane, but if you like RS Cosworths have a look at this site.

I had a Sapphire Cossy in the UK, and always fancied an Escort Cos but never did get one. If I can convince Mrs LL that another car is needed I'll try these guys.
