COFFS Harbour City Rotary Club stages its Show and Shine at the Park Beach Plaza (PBP) on Sunday 10 August.
As a well-established and popular event, Rotary’s Motor Show organisers expect an impressive line-up.
They’re hoping to better the 100-vehicle attendance of last year with some of the best vintage, classic and modern display cars and motorcycles on show.
Supported by local clubs and private owners, it will include a lineup of racing cars from the Coffs Coast region.
Automobile enthusiast extraordinaire and Batman impersonator Mike Camilleri takes on the roles of event set-up marshal, official parking officer, DJ and MC.
“Mike and his bat-crew will be there in full attendance,” Coffs City Rotary Chair Bob Carle told News Of The Area.
He will display his rare big block V8 Dodge Challenger and Pontiac Firebird TransAm, both of which can be seen displayed at Park Beach Plaza Shopping Centre for the week prior to the Sunday show.
“We are looking forward to a good turnout with a vast range of awesome automotive machines,” Mr Camilleri said.
The middle level of the PBP car park “will be a hive of vehicle displays and conveniently right on location for any food, drinks or fine shopping at the Park Beach Plaza Shopping Centre complex,” Mr Carle said.
The dedicated involvement every year of Geoff King and his team was also noted.
“Geoff always shows some of his Holden cars from his collection, also as a promotion for the now local National Holden Motor Museum located at the Coffs Harbour Cartoon Bunker.
“A special thank you goes to the local volunteers who all contribute to making this a well-staged community and family event”.
The National Holden Museum’s Mitchell Law has played a team role through marketing and administration, helping to put this together with Mr Carle and Mr Camilleri.
This staging of one of the largest collections of fine machines within the Coffs Coast region is an important fundraising event for the Coffs Rotary Club and helps support Rotary projects, the local community and charities.
Cars, bikes or machines need to be registered to show, and official trophies and prizes will be presented on the day.
