Historic classic cars rev up for charity

World acclaimed makes of classic cars going back 100 years will be on display at Chaplin Park, Noosaville, this Sunday.

Noosa’s Roadrunner Car Club, whose members come from Brisbane to Gympie and Hervey Bay, is staging its annual charity car show – an extravaganza of cars ranging from a $1.6 million 1922 Bugatti Type 13, a 1934 Jaguar SS1 and a 1936 Oldsmobile Sloper to this year’s current model GT Mustang.

And, just as it did at its last car show, proceeds will be donated to Katie Rose Cottage Hospice at Doonan.

Club president Graeme Block anticipates a relaxed, happy event.

He told Noosa Today. “We want to create a picnic atmosphere around the cars where people can sit and talk to the owners.

“The Noosa Lions Club is providing breakfast and then a sausage lunch. There will be ice creams for the kids and there is a very special raffle with race car driver Gerry Murphy selling tickets to win hot laps at Queensland Raceway with one of his racing cars that will be on display.

“People will be able to have their photo taken in the race car for a gold coin donation.”

“We enjoy our cars and we are inviting people to share our enthusiasm.”

Noosa Charity Car Show 8am-1pm, Sunday October 3,.Chaplin Park, Mill St, Noosaville. Entry $5 adults, children U14 free when accompanied by an adult. All proceeds to Katie Rose Cottage Hospice. More information roadrunnercarclub.com.au or 0407 009 464.
