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.
