Australia’s largest and most prestigious motoring enthusiast show Meguiar’s MotorEx is on again, 11th and 12th July, 2009 at the Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park. Over $60 million worth of spectacular cars and bikes ranging from hot rods, street machines, hi-tech tuners, dragster, muscle cars and classic cars, along with some of Australia’s best custom motorcycles and choppers will all be on display all weekend at Meguiar’s MotorEx. It is hard to believe that this annual event could get bigger and better and this year it has, with the inclusion of the Shannon’s Classic Vehicle Auction, normally reserved for the Sydney International Motor Show. Meguiar’s MotorEx is for the whole family, with vehicles of interest for all ages.
Don’t miss the House of Kolor Inauguration at 11am on Saturday 11th July, when the next generation of blockbuster cars and bikes are unveiled for the first time. Amongst the six cars and four radical bikes is a car coming from Malaysia called ‘Jealous Ahura’, it has links to the royal family, plus we have been led to believe it has diamond and ruby incrusted wheels and trim. We can’t tell you for sure though! All of the cars and bikes are so top secret they are moved into the show under the cover of darkness to ensure their secrecy. Be the first to witness the covers come off these awesome machines that have been built to debut at Meguiar’s MotorEx at 11am.
Classic and muscle car fans will be overwhelmed with the vehicles catering for them this year. Shannons expect an iconic HK Monaro GTS 327 used as a getaway car by Kate Richie’s character on Channel 9’s TV series ‘Underbelly’ to fetch up to $160,000. Meanwhile the Ford fans haven’t been left out at of the MotorEx auction, with Shannon’s also offering a rare and highly desirable left hand drive 1969 Mustang Boss 429 Fast Back for sale. The vehicles are on display all weekend with the auction commencing at 2.30pm on Sunday 12th July, in Hall 3. All lots can be viewed ahead of the show by visiting www.shannons.com.au
If American muscle turns you on then don’t miss The Pennzoil All American Display which will feature up to 80 amazing American cars ranging from thunderbirds through to mustangs.
