ABOUT
The Bay to Birdwood Run began as a relaxing biennial day out to provide
publicity for the car clubs of South Australia and grew into the largest
motoring event in the southern hemisphere f6r pre-1959 vehicles. The parameters
have changed slightly since its inception in 1980, including the spin-off
Classic in alternate years, but it has maintained its iconic status as
the largest event of its type despite the advancing years of many of its
participants and their vehicles.
This is the story of the Bay to Birdwood's 30 years to 2010, told from
the perspective of one who has been involved as an entrant in all of the
traditional Runs, a committee member for a number of years with access
to most of the organisers' files and records~ and a magazine reporter on
occasions. It tells of the origins of the Run and the be¬hind-the-scenes
dramas not generally known to those who simply come along for a pleasant
day's drive and picnic with fellow historic vehicle enthusiasts. It details
most of the Concours d'Elegance winners and some of the dummy-spits along
the way.
With an introduction by Sir Eric Neal, AC, C.VO, Governor of South Australia
from 1996 to 2001, and copiously illustrated, it contains interviews with
several Committee members, past and present. It is a compelling tale of
interest to motoring enthusiasts wherever they may be and whatever their
particular driving allegiance.
