Droves of car enthusiasts and motoring fans gathered at Cartel Co on Sunday, 24 November, for the inaugural Aura Summer Car Show, kicking off what promises to be a seasonal highlight in the community calendar.

Event organiser Amber Phipps said she was overwhelmed by the turnout and would be organising an Autumn event for March.

“We have always been into cars and that car park outside Cartel Co and Brouhaha is just perfect for a car show and I approached the businesses and said, let’s do this,” Ms Phipps said.

“It was really well received by the community, and we can’t wait to do it all again.

“There needs to be more car events on the coast, we have a huge community of car lovers here who want to come together.”

Cartel Co’s owner Sean Cattell said the event had a fantastic turnout of both spectators and cars.

“I believe we had close to two hundred cars rotate through over the three-hour showcase,” Mr Cattell said.

“We had a great variety of cars from classics to modern cars, Japanese, American, European and Australian.

“We had a lot of support from local businesses donating some incredible prizes.
Planning for the next show is already underway and we are hoping to have in addition a 4×4 and bikes category.”
