Noosa’s own Concours d’Elegance returns to Hastings Street on Saturday 19 July 2025, bringing with it a spectacular line-up of over 50 rare and iconic classic cars, alongside modern automotive standouts and an extended program of lifestyle events for all ages.
Back for its third year, the Noosa Concours on Hastings Street has quickly become one of Australia’s most respected lifestyle events, celebrating craftsmanship, design and culture — all set in the heart of Hastings Street, with the natural beauty of Main Beach as its backdrop.
As in previous years, Hastings Street will be closed to traffic for the day, allowing locals and visitors alike to stroll the street and admire an extraordinary display of vehicles, including marques such as Ferrari, Aston Martin, Bentley, Bugatti, McLaren, Lamborghini, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, and more.
Rare and remarkable highlights from this year’s Noosa Concours display will include:
• 1964 Aston Martin DB5 Superleggera, a vehicle that gained worldwide fame as the quintessential James Bond car, making its debut in the iconic 007 film Goldfinger. Its appearance in the movie propelled it to legendary status, earning it the title of “the most famous car in the world”. Designed by the renowned Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Touring of Milan, the DB5 utilised the Superleggera (Italian for “super light”) construction technique. This innovative design is reflected in the “Superleggera” badging proudly displayed on the car’s bonnet. A perfect blend of British craftsmanship and Italian design, the DB5 is more than just a cultural icon – it represents a pinnacle of 1960s automotive elegance and performance.
• 1935 BMW 315/1 Roadster – BMW’s first dedicated sports car, signalling a pivotal shift from practical, utilitarian vehicles to performance-focused engineering. With its sleek lines and spirited driving dynamics, the stunning 315/1 laid the groundwork for BMW’s enduring legacy in the world of sports motoring. The car recently underwent a $1 million specialist restoration to support its entry into the event.
• 1936 Delage D6-70 Milford Cabriolet a rare and exquisitely refined example of pre-war French automotive elegance. Seamlessly blending luxury and craftsmanship with a distinguished racing pedigree, the D6-70 represents the height of Delage’s engineering and design prowess during the golden age of motoring. With its graceful lines, advanced engineering, and meticulous attention to detail, the Milford Cabriolet reflects the sophistication and innovation that defined French coachbuilt automobiles of the era.
• 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO a legendary, limited-production supercar, renowned for its blend of performance and rarity. It was Ferrari’s response to the Group B rally series and features a twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 400 horsepower. Only 272 were built, making this one of the most sought-after Ferraris in the world.
• 1961 Maserati 3500 GT Vignale Spyder a rare and highly sought-after classic car, with only 242 examples ever produced. This convertible grand tourer was a seminal vehicle for Maserati, as the company’s first successful attempt at the Gran Turismo market and series production.
• 1973 Porsche 917/30 – is widely regarded as one of the most legendary and dominant race cars in motorsport history. Developed for the fearsome Can-Am (Canadian American Challenge Cup) series, the 917/30 featured a turbocharged flat-12 engine producing over 1,100 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful race cars ever built. Engineered with lightweight construction, advanced aerodynamics, and staggering performance, the 917/30 overwhelmed the competition, leading to Porsche’s complete dominance of the 1973 Can-Am season. Its unmatched speed and engineering excellence have earned it a lasting place in racing lore.
All vehicles are held in private collections, making this an exceptionally rare opportunity for the public to access these classic cars of historical significance. This year, the event will also assemble a rare and highly coveted collection of supercars from the 1990s through to 21st century, representing the pinnacle of performance and design. That display will include the iconic Jaguar XJ220, Pagani Huayra, McLaren 750S Spider Triple Crown, and more. Last year’s winner of the Best in Show Award, the 1938 Bugatti Type 57C Aravis Special, will also make a special appearance at the event in 2025, alongside the official display.
These rare and classic automotive masterpieces will also be showcased alongside the latest cutting-edge models from a range of luxury automotive brands including Aston Martin, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Range Rover, and more.
