Auto Italia 2013

7 Apr

We arrive at in the gardens behind Old Parliament House to find Auto Italia blessed with another day of absolutely gorgeous April weather this year (take a look at last year’s pics). Words can’t really describe the beautiful cars, so I’ll let them speak for themselves (together with some inane commentary!).

(If you enjoy these photos and are looking for more, please check out Richard Tuffin’s fabulous set.)

      Aren’t they! Am so jealous (but grateful the owners let others covet them!) 🙂

    Nice pics!
    Always a great event.
    Works so much better since they moved it from Grevillea Park a few years ago.
