Tarlee Classic Car Muster

The “Tarlee Classic Car Muster” is a charity event organised by the Barossa Valley Historical Vehicles Club and supported by Shannons. On a beaut sunny day, 8 cars and 12 JDCSA members met up at the OTR at Bolivar at 9:30am for a 10:00am departure for Tarlee. After playing dodgems with a few “closed up” caravans, we arrived at the Tarlee Oval at about 11:15am. We scored a good spot on the Eastern side of the Oval and set up camp under some big trees for shade. We were joined by a few other Jag Club members and cars. In the end we had a total of 12 Jaguars and one immaculate Toyota Landcruiser (owned by Chris Michael). We enjoyed three-and-a-half hours looking at many different makes of wellpreserved and restored cars, interspersed with a picnic lunch and some well-done snags and bread kindly supplied by Trevor Norley and cooked by John & Claire Evans (under Paul Moore’s strict supervision!!). The sun shone hot all day and we left at about 3.00pm after packing up the gazebos and banners. A good run home finished off a very pleasant day.

Editor, although the “Tarlee Classic Car Muster” is not a JDCSA organised event, the club supports fundraising events such as this. The money raised is going to the Gilbert Valley Senior Citizens Home & The Tanunda Primary School Disability Unit.

Sorry, the camera man was biased. There were other cars there besides Jaguars.
