Eastern Suburbs cars and coffee May 2022

I attended the Eastern Suburbs cars and coffee event for the 2nd time today.   The event has moved to a new location since my last visit.   Instead of being located inside Centennial Park, they now meet near the Sydney Cricket Ground – on Driver avenue near the Horden Pavilion.     While its less picturesque than Centennial Park, it’s probably a better location as there is plenty of room to park cars, and no anti-car rangers trying to put an end to the whole thing.

It wasn’t quite as big as the last one, which isn’t that surprising since that was the first after a COVID lockdown.     There was still a great range of cars on display from daily drivers to a classic Ferrari that was probably worth many times more than the combined value of all the other cars.   Its great to see cars like that actually being used instead of on display in a lobby.

I took my Citroen DS and was parked next a very nice Lancia Fulvia.   I’ve always admired the engineering and styling of these cars.    It was a good day to get the DS out, as Sunday was forcast to be mild and sunny.    As well as the usual popular vehicles like Mustangs and Minis, there were also a few rarities such as an Aussie made variant of an Alfa Romeo with a rear mounted V8, some classic Peugeot’s and a Hillman Imp.     In addition, there were a few 80s Saabs which are not commonly seen anymore.

This new location for the Eastern Suburbs Cars and Coffee is very convenient and i’m sure i’ll be attending again in the future.
