Das ist eines meiner liebsten Fotos - auch wenn es durch die Scheibe fotografiert wurde. Ich frage mich immer, was sie da unten alles beobachten. Aber wie süß das Kleine sich an Mama orientiert. 🐿️❤️

And then a flock of Bolwells appeared! More on these further down thread as there's an interesting story I need to share.

A flock of Mokes arrived, I was busily sending photos to my friend with a Moke saying WHERE THE HELL ARE YA

Mokes? So many Mokes! Even a Mini Moke! So very cool.

Soo those Bowells! Ok so Bolwell was a kit car made here in Melbourne

And this bulbous one is one that almost never existed.

Just extraordinary to be able to see something so rare and unusual. Not that there's many of the other models left around. All fibreglass, they are an interesting part of Australian motoring history that many not know exists.

Old and new, they kept on coming in. Curiously, the only Lotus that turned up.

And then this appeared. This is a new Bolwell! The co started back up in the mid noughties.

I've never seen one other than reading about it. My eyes just about popped out of my head.

Toyota powered. The owner said it was brand new and didn't know much about it. So Bolwell came up with this design almost 20 years ago and are still hand making cars. Mind boggling, considering how difficult it is to meet ADRs here too.

This yellow Bolwell is the one of 12 that shouldn't actually exist. Talk about rare.

I bade farewell to the rarest Commodore around.

@vwdasher

Lovely Buick.

The Commodore is a very rare slug.

The Orange Torana has me very worried

And the yellow SL/R is gorgeous.

@vwdasher The Lotus is not real - it clearly says "CGI" on the license plate.

@vwdasher That purple Challenger is stunning.
@captainb more cars need to be purple!
