Rare Classics make their way to Cars & Coffee

Another crisp and sunny Sunday morning and another brilliant turn-out at the MTA Queensland Cars and Coffee event.
Held on the last Sunday of the month, June’s Cars & Coffee get-together brought out plenty of classic and exotic cars including some pretty rare specimens.

Amongst these was an old friend – a 1967 110S L10A Mazda Cosmo Sport that was the focus of a Motor Trader’s Member’s Classic feature back in April 2014.
Only 343 of the L10As were made and it was the first Mazda to be powered by a Wankel rotary engine, in this case the 0810 10A 110hp unit.

Joining the Mazda was a a returning De Tomaso Pantera and a pair of stunning first-generation Honda NSX supercars.

The first all-aluminium production car, the NSX was something of an engineering masterpiece on its launch in 1990 with plenty of racing-inspired touches and input into its development from no less a name than Ayrton Senna. Only 18,000 were produced from 1990 to 2005, so to  see two 1991 NSE models roll up to Cars  & Coffee was pretty special indeed.

These rare classics were not alone.

Also visiting for the morning was a spectacular 1958 Mercedes-Benz 190SL Roadster, a 1966 Jaguar E-type Coupe, a 1992 Nissan Skyline Coupe, a 1955 Pontiac Chieftain Sedan, a 1988 Lotus Esprit Coupe and a wonderful 1974 Ford Escort Coupe.

With cars like these putting the MTA Queensland Cars & Coffee on their schedule, it’s becoming an event that shouldn’t be missed.

Join us on July 29, between 7:30am and 9:30am, for the next MTA Queensland Cars & Coffee event.

It takes place at the Association’s head office at Freeway Office Park at Eight Mile Plains, and there’s plenty of good food and coffee to be had thanks to Zali’s  Café and the sausage sizzle put on by
MTA Queensland staff.

Eat, drink and let’s torque cars!

See you there!
