Admission: Free  :-* (the local charity last year asked for a gold coin donation which is cool)

QuoteRelive The Dream At The Bindoon Vintage Car Show

Bindoon, Western Australia – August 15th, 2015 – Just last year, a collection of 60 derelict cars was discovered at a farm in Western France. The collection included a Ferrari California Spyder that eventually sold for over €12 million when auctioned.

You may never get to be that lucky but you can certainly live the dream when the Bindoon Vintage Car Show returns to one of WA's most picturesque towns on September 20th.

Take the whole family; wander the lines of pedigreed automobiles and step back into a time when mainstream transportation still meant excitement, adventure and a pride of bespoke craftsmanship that today is reserved only for the most expensive brands.

Visitors on the day can enjoy market stalls, art shows, jumping castles, great food and coffee, a historical show and the kind of warm hospitality that country people are known for.

The Bindoon Vintage Car Day will be held on Sunday 20th September 2015 from 9 am till 5 pm at the Bindoon Oval, 6810 Great Northern Highway, Bindoon WA.

;D The Emperor: [In the toilet room, G is watching the Imperial BMW car fleet out represent the W116 Rebels from the huge throne room window] As you can see, my young apprentice, your friends have failed to bring their W116s to task. Now witness the pull-power of the fully ARMED and OPERATIONAL Bindoon Vintage Car Festival! (evil laugh)
