Capri - Redlands Australia Day Rally 2020

Once again this year, the Bayside Vehicle Restorers Club staged an Australia Day Rally. This has become quite a popular way of celebrating this special day as 560+ vehicles turned up and were spread across the two ovals at Ormiston State School. I am sometimes reluctant to attend because of the heat but this year with some cloud cover and bayside breezes it was pretty comfortable, even with the Capri's air conditioning not fully functioning! It is always a well organised event and this year was no exception. Breakfast is free for a $5 raffle ticket (17 prizes) with proceeds going to Sailability, a local charity. If you are inclined, there are 4 mapped runs around the Bayside that you can join, all ending at the Redlands Sporting Club for lunch. A number of car clubs make this their first event for the year.
There are many & varied cars on display but a couple of Fords were interesting. Firstly, there was another Capri that I had not seen before parked with the All British Ford Club. It was a cream/beige colour with a black vinyl top (facelift model?). I was trying to find the owner as I think it may be the person who has recently joined our club. The other car was a Corsair sedan with a V4GT engine. Again, I wanted to have a good look but the owner was not about.



Here is a small selection of other vehicles on display.
