Some of the world’s most fascinating and desirable cars, from a 1909 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost to a 2003 model Ford GT will come together in Brisbane for the third annual SPEED+STYLE+BEAUTY staged from 12-16 January in the old Metro Ford complex in Fortitude Valley.
The 40 special vehicles in the show represent “a celebration of wheels” according to organiser Rod Gould, who has again welcomed Shannons as one of the event’s major sponsors.
Supercars on display include a four-wheel drive twin-turbo Porsche 959, a rare Jaguar XJ220 coupe and a Ferrari F40. Meanwhile, a 1931 Aston Martin, an Alvis Speed 25, an Allard and a Frazer Nash are amongst the Thoroughbreds to be seen at the 2011 SPEED+STYLE+BEAUTY.
