All revved up for Cooroy Car Show Shirley Wilde's Leyland Mini
Sue Chapman's 1971 HQ Holden
Ian Skipworth's Black Stallion
Debbie Gallagher's 1980 Holden Sandman
All roads will lead to Cooroy on Sunday 20th October as the Combined Coastal Car Club hosts their annual Car Show. Almost 200 vehicles are expected to be on display at the event which welcomes all makes and models of cars and machinery. Passionate enthusiasts like Shirley Wilde will be buffing and polishing their cars in preparation for the Show and Shine. Shirley and her impeccable 1976 Leyland Mini Van (top left) were last year’s winners of the Best Van trophy which is just one of the almost 40 categories up for judging in the Show and Shine. Shirley is an accomplished mechanic who was hands-on in the restoration of her Mini, including the difficult task of fitting a radiator in a mini engine bay. Shirley’s Mini outscored Sue Chapman’s prized 1971 HQ Holden and Debbie Gallagher’s 1980 Holden Sandman and in the battle for the Best Van category. The enthusiasm for special interest vehicles is increasing with club memberships and car show partici-
pation growing across all ages and genders. The 2018 Cooroy Car Show saw the largest rise in entries from young and female enthusiasts since the Show started in 1995. The Cooroy Car Show is a great family day with trade stands, food and drinks, Entrants’ Lucky Draw, jumping castle, line dancing, and demonstrations by the dedicated volunteers at the Black Mountain Rural Fire Brigade.
