The Mk.8 Jag was a "gussied up" Mk.7......I can't see any chrome strips on the side of that car, so it still looks like a Mk.7 to me.  ;)

Absolutely no question Greg. MkVII

That's even more correct, seldo......MkVII :up: .

 

When I first started work [1956], my boss had a MkVII. Let's just say he was lucky there were no speed cameras back then !  ;)

That 48 Ford truck is a lovely thing. That was its first time out. Rescued from a winery in the Barossa and 3 years work. He has even been in contact with the original owner on the Yorke Peninsula. All original except for 12v and an alternator and a slightly 'blingy' tray. I spoke to him last night on the Zipple Cruise where it had its second outing.

I took a pic of it at the start but it is all blurry. I take ok photos providing they stay still!

That Diamond bus is owned by Jim Crawford of the CMV group. Who owns the majority of truck franchises here in SA. The group owns a LOT of restored trucks and commercials as well as a few older classic cars too. The big 6x6 in one of my pics is also one of their entrys. I only saw a few this year, some years there has been around 20. And they are all very good units. I reckon it would be a full time job for 1 person just maintaining the fleet yet alone restoration work.

Lee, I think you will find that Jim Crawford passed away some years ago now. I suspect his sons have taken over .

I thought that was the case, though still a family owned and seemingly added too collection. As well as the CMV group.

Do you think the 3 Jags are from one home? Maybe a 4th in the background.

That little 750 Renault is a very nice example.

They might be related...the number plates seem suspiciously numerically rhythmical.

Does anyone know the make and model of the military vehicle?

I'm sure I've never seen guards that shape before...

Plymouth by reading the grille. Cut down sedan by the look.

I too photographed it but it was moving too fast for me!

Thanks, Michael...

I guess it's a '40 or '41 model, so we didn't see them here?

The blue MG is one of the rare TB's (pre war). The owner lives in Melbourne not far from me.

Just thinking,, the cops could have a field day at this event. The number of arms, elbows and other extremities hanging out of vehicles could just about balance the state budget. Yet alone unrestrained children. No children allowed in this event due to road rules these days.

Though I did not see anyone riding on hay bales on the back of a truck. Did see some with seats though.

From what I was told the passenger in the DeDion is the owner. The T Bird owner driver restored it.

Not me personally but a very interesting piece of true nostalgia. At 103 years old.

As has been said, brilliant photo's.
Living in Sydney, real estate prices are all about harbour views, but in Adelaide, I would pay a premium to be on the Bay to Birdwood route.
I wonder how many glasses of Barossa red were consumed watching the passing parade.

Maybe half a dozen or so,,, barrels.

I have watched from up in the hills, it is very different.

Lynton has done very well to photograph it seems the whole field. I had enough problems just watching them go by!
