Scotty will be down from Brisbane & we are planning to catch up on Friday evening for a drink and bite to eat! If anyone else is interested, leave a post on here & we will try to co-ordinate something...

Am displaying the green car with PCV on the Saturday in the club sandwich display outside.

$35.00 per ticket. They're dreaming ! Its cheaper to visit Technoclassica Essen for the day and a lot more cars and stuff to see. I would be pretty pissed as an exhibitor paying top $$$ for a stand and hoping the get in customers to see my products. Promotors getting too greedy these days.

Not cheaper to visit Essen if you factor in the Airfare, Accomodation & such, Phil! I would have thought $35 is reasonable value for a local event, considering it costs about the same to get a reserved seat at the footy (home/away) and more to go to the Melbourne Cup as a general admission ticket...

I went last year and will be attending on Saturday evening this year and will catch some of the auction as well as seeing the cars. I admit it does not compare with the Goodwood Revival that we attended last year but it is home grown and what else can you buy with $35 anyway.

I must be getting scroogy in my old age......

We should support events like this or else it will disappear like the motor show. Unfortunately the Melbourne weather is not going to be kind to the outdoor display.

$25 with a RACV members discount.

Attended the auction and caught up with Gus. No good news to report although I believe that the auction presentation and format is less than desirable.( No real info or test reports on any of the vehicles?) Out of 39 cars auctioned only about 8 seemed to get sold under auction conditions. A lot of bids seemed to be plucked from non existent buyers. There were also several withdrawals before the commencement. On the Porsche front only lot 40 sold a 1975 911 Carrera RSR replica at $75k which was just under the $80 to $100K estimate. A 1993 968 passed in at $34K the nice 1965 911 estimate $380 to $450K passed in at $200k and a 1976 Carrera 3 litre failed to make the $90 to $120k estimate. The sales were all sub $100k.

I would have liked to have attended the auction but was unfortunately away interstate.
Thanks for the update Neville.
