A BIG hello and WELCOME to all our loyal followers including the wonderful Pre WW II Vintage car entrants, spectators, sponsors, volunteers, vendors, Sutherland Shire Council and the staff at Sylvanvale. Without all these magnificent people that come together once a year to get this show on the road it would never eventuate.
As the organiser and Custodian of this unique event in the Sutherland Shire I would personally like to thank each and every one of you.
This year we clock up our 8th Sylvanvale Pre WWII Vintage Car Show, every year we go from strength to strength to raise funds to support Sylvanvale clients to improve their life style so that they are fully included in their community.
Funds raised from the Sylvanvale Pre WW II Vintage Car Show this year will go towards purchasing and modifying a new wheelchair accessible vehicle for the exclusive use of people Sylvanvale supports.
This email is a gentle reminder for everyone to join us on the asphalt in the Sutherland Shire Council Car Park in Sutherland on Sunday August 18th. 8am-3pm (see map below) to come along and enjoy a fantastic day out for all the family. There is plenty of free parking and easy access for people with a disability. If you don’t have a car, no problem because the Sutherland Railway Station is only 500 meters from the car park on Flora Street.

One of the most prestigious raffle prizes on the day is for yours truly to pick up the lucky winners in my 93 y.o. 1931 Model A Ford 2 door Tudor Delux sedan ( see photo) dressed in period dress from their residence, drive them to one of the Shires best Restaurants for lunch. Once they have enjoyed lunch I will then drive them safely back home.
Now where on this Planet can you do that.
This is why without a doubt our Vintage Car Show is so unique and the most popular community events on the annual calendar.

Yesterday I was preparing the latest addition to the Vintage Vehicle collection of the Warburton family to be displayed at the show on Sunday. This will be the 1st time that I have had the pleasure to publicly show off my new toy.
I purchased this very rare 1923 Oldsmobile “Six” Model 30 Two-Passenger Roadster-Model 30-R late last year. This years Sylvanvale Pre WWII Vintage will be the 1st time that I have had the opportunity to exhibit this very sort after vintage motor vehicle.
Back in the day, 101 years ago this must have been way ahead of its time, rare Australian-Delivered Right hand drive fitted with a 6 cylinder side valve engine. Older restoration, long term ownership. A lovely example of Oldsmobile’s classic model 30 series featuring the desirable Sports Roadster bodywork, the car was completely restored by its late owner in the early 1970’s.
Rarely driven ( the odometer reads just 1,043 miles or 1,700 kilometres!), the car remains in remarkably good cosmetic and mechanical condition, testimony to the quality of the work performed. no reproduction parts were used in the restoration and fittings like the spotlight and tool kit are all original. A very stylish, usable example of this classic American 1920’s Sports Roadster. (See photo). Nickname: Ollie.

At the show on Sunday you can have your photograph taken in my 101 y.o. Oldsmobile Sports Roadster for a small donation.
You won’t hear from me again until after the show on the weekend, I am looking forward to catching up with all my old Rev-head friends and making new ones.
Just remember, adventure before dementia.
Cheers,
Warbo.
