Geelong Classic Truck and Vintage Machinery Show. Day 1.
by John
I was busy minding the 1:4 scale Fowler traction engine today, at the show, but these were a few items which were of particular interest to me, of the hundreds on display. Not to mention the tractor pull, the Liberator WW2 engine demo, and the magnificent vintage trucks and cars.

Peugeot 403. My first car was one of these. For its day it was reliable, rugged and advanced. Won the first Redex rally across central Australia in 1956.

Marshall Compound traction engine on low loader. The traction engine is completely original, unrestored. Needs a lot of work.
