Against the stunning backdrop of Sydney Harbour, attendees were treated to a world-class display of automotive excellence, from pre-war classics to modern hypercars and groundbreaking electric innovations.
A Weekend of Automotive Excellence
The “Magnificent 7” theme honoured the most celebrated vehicles in motoring history. Among the standout displays were a 1933 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 GS and a 1967 Lamborghini Miura, two of the most revered icons of automotive design.
Magneto Magazine noted the diversity of the showcase, which included curated classes such as “100 Years of the French Revolution” and “Icons,” while Exhaust Notes Australia reported that more than 75 vintage, classic, and high-performance vehicles, motorcycles, and sustainable energy were exhibited throughout the weekend.
