There was also a line-up of racing cars.

“The display was supported by local club and private owners, proudly showing their precious motor cars and bikes,” Coffs City Rotary Chair Bob Carle told News Of The Area.

Geoff King showed two treasured Holden cars from his collection, as a promotion for the city’s new National Holden Motor Museum at the Coffs Harbour Bunker.

Now in its third year, the Show and Shine is a fundraiser for local community charities and Rotary projects.

North Coast V-Twins supported the event with a display of new bikes.

“CEO Ashley Beaton also displayed his own touring racing car, 1970 GTR XU1 LC Torana,” Mr Carle said.

The event has suffered from adverse weather conditions in the past but this year it was dry and sunny.

“The weather was kind this year and brought the people out – young and old – to inspect and appreciate the great display of fine machines.”

Mr Carle paid special thanks to Mike Camilleri for his tireless work as set-up marshal, official parking officer, DJ and MC.

“He even managed to display his big block V8 Dodge Challenger”.

Mr Camilleri added that “it was a great turnout with a vast range of awesome automotive machines.”

“Thanks go to the local volunteers who all contributed to making this a well-staged community and family event.”
