The National Motor Museum at Birdwood, SA, has acquired a rare Australian-made Hartnett ‘Pacific’ convertible and are seeking public help to fund its restoration. Little known today, the Harnett was the creation of Laurence Hartnett and was his secon

BMW announced in March that they’ll end production of their trailblazing i8 plugin hybrid sports car in April to focus on a new range of electric vehicles. The end for the i8 coupe and roadster comes after almost six years on the market and more than

Australian hot rod legend Rod Hadfield is trying to track down his first competition car and hopes the JUST CARS audience can help. Built in the early 1960s and known as ‘Baby Huey’, Hadfield’s debut drag racer featured the body of a 1950 Fiat Topoli

The Bay to Birdwood will mark its 40th Anniversary this year and organisers are aiming to make the 2020 run extra special. Over the past 40 years, the success of the Bay to Birdwood led to the event being split into two biennial categories in 2001: t

Bentley have relaunched their Mulliner division for bespoke builds, restorations and special projects with the release of a new, limited-edition coachbuilt model – the Bacalar. Taking its name from a lake on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, the Bacalar is

Anyone with even a passing interest in muscle cars will know the name Carroll Shelby. A successful racer before he was a car designer and constructor, Shelby’s connection to Ford started by combining the British-built AC Ace roadster with all-America

After 30 years in operation, the Binalong Motor Museum in rural NSW will close this April. The unfortunate closure of this quirky and popular museum will be followed by an auction of the majority of its display vehicles, conducted by Donington Auctio

This is as good as a locally produced blue oval product gets in Australia. At least it is right now, some years since manufacturing of the Falcon stopped. And although you’re right in saying that this is a US-built sports coupe, it’s also a modified

There can’t be many – if any – car shows in this country that have enjoyed the longevity of the Victorian Hot Rod Show. This year’s show was the 55th conducted by the Victorian Hot Rod Association (VHRA) and the event just keeps on keeping on. Sure,

Chev was front and centre when you entered the Royal Exhibition Building, but the next car down the line was Dan Appleby’s stunning ’72 Buick Riviera in all its boat-tail beauty. Dubbed the ‘Riverboat Gambler’, this project started as a mild custom,

Dubbed ‘ToyChev’, this was arguably the most unique vehicle on display this year. Created by Tony Hubbard and dedicated to his wife Gayl, who passed in 2019, this rod combines a modified Model A chassis with a heavily chopped and channelled body from

A standout amongst the ‘cool rides’ this year was this ’73 LJ Torana. What first caught the eye with this genuine GTR XU-1 was its Juniper Green metallic paint; a period-correct Holden colour, but one rarely seen on a Torana. The next thing that stoo

As far as extreme chops go, they don’t get much extreme than James and Kendal Chisholm’s 1930 Model A coupe. With 7 inches chopped out of the body and a 4-inch channel job, that open-top roof is a necessity! The bobbed ’32 grille shell throws a few p

A pre-war Willys rod is nothing new, but what set this example apart from the rest was its stunning interior. Trimmed by Shannon Walters, red leather was used throughout, from the seats to the door cards, headliner, rear cabin trim and even the boot

Modern alloy wheels can be hard enough to clean (especially if left too long) however cleaning wire spoke wheels such as those on classic MGs and Austin Healeys can seem daunting. It’s an easy process once you know how, though and while you’ll need t

From a pole position time almost five seconds clear of P2, to his triumphant power slides in the last race, Paul Stubber, the globetrotting Aussie who perhaps races in more categories in more places than anyone, put on a fantastic show at the 31st Ph

If car enthusiasts thought the Commodore SSX from 2002 was stunning, then to quote the song title from BTO, “You ain’t seen nothin’ yet,” when in 2004 Holden showed the Torana TT36 concept car. Its lairy bright metallic pink exterior paint scheme mad
