Dick's XC to feature at rescheduled SPEED+STYLE+BEAUTY
Despite being a fixture on the automotive events calendar for only two years, SPEED+STYLE+BEAUTY has already made a name for itself as a celebration of all things impressive and excessive on four and two wheels - everything from a stately 1909 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost to a svelte 1955 Ferrari 750 Monza and Dick Johnson's rapid Bathurst Falcon XC Hardtop. These and more will come together for the third annual running of the Queensland event, which is sponsored by Shannons.
According to event organiser Rod Gould, the 40 special vehicles in the show represent "a celebration of wheels". 1930s classics confirmed for the show include a 1935 Rolls Royce Phantom111 Sedanca de Ville, a 1934 Mercedes 500K reproduction, a 1934 Ford (Hot Rod) Roadster and a magnificent 1935 Bugatti 57 C Fastback.
From the glorious Post War area of the 1950s and 1960s there is a rare 1953 Jaguar XK 120 Coupe, a 1959 Porsche RSK Spyder and a 1967 Corvette 327 'Side Pipe', while the 1970s is highlighted by a 1970 Citroen DS Cabriolet, a 1973 BMW 3.0 CSL 'Art Car' and the XC Falcon that Dick Johnson raced at Bathurst in 1978 and 1979. Supercars on display include a 1967 Maserati Ghibli, a 1977 Lamborghini Countach and a 2011 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder.
There will also some magnificent classic motorcycles on display, ranging from a 1928 Triumph to 'Crash' Cavanagh's stunt bike.
All proceeds from the show will go to Youngcare, an organisation that assists young Australians under 65 to get out of aged care. Visitors to SPEED+STYLE+BEAUTY who get an insurance quote from Shannons at the event will be given a free coffee voucher.
