We head along to the monthly Cars & Coffee meet to see what’s what

On the first Sunday of every month, a small group of motorists gather on the roof of the Eureka Tower car park for a morning of cars… and well… coffee.

There have been a number of cars & coffee events about town over the years, most fall victim to one too many over-enthusiastic V8 drivers botching a skid on the way out and hitting a neighbouring fence (possibly hyperbole, but I have seen it happen!).

| Events: What's on in your state?

The magic of the Wilson meet-ups is that it has thus far remained in relatively low numbers. Generally, it’s a quality over quantity turn out, all marques and models welcome – with a diverse blend of origins.

Flick through the gallery above, or read on to see a few cars which caught our eye.

Cars-Coffee-BMW-E9.jpg

We followed this dead-set gorgeous BMW E9 coupe into the meet. A Karmann-built ‘neue-klasse’ coupe built from 1968-1975 – they utilised one of a number of different variations of BMW’s M30 straight-six.

Cars-Coffee-Maserati-Ghibli.jpg

Designed by Gandini, the Maserati Ghibli is one of our favourite 90s gems. Visually very similar to the Shamal, the Ghibli boasted a twin-turbo V6 and was more luxuriously appointed.

Cars-Coffee-VW-SP2-rear-q.jpg

Manufactured from 1972 to 1976, the Volkswagen SP2 was initially developed and sold solely for the Brazilian market in order to replace the Karmann-Ghia after importation was closed in the 70s. It’s powered by a 1700cc flat-four air-cooled boxer engine.

Cars-coffee-calais-wagon.jpg

Genuine Calais wagon! And flying the flag for our mates at Street Machine!

Cars-Coffee-Cadillac.jpg

Another showstopper: this custom 1950 Cadillac Coupe is an ex-feature car of ours (Issue 349!) and was parked at the very top of the car park. Chopped and smoothed, it’s certainly a sight to behold!

If you’re keen to get along to one of these quiet Sunday morning meets; they take place at the start of every month, at the Eureka car park rooftop, 70 City Road Southbank.

All it costs is the price of a parking ticket ($11 on Sundays!). Maybe we’ll see you there!
