Organiser David Wigley said he was pleased with the turnout, after the event took a break in April due to a clash with Easter Sunday.

“We had classic Fords, a vintage Moon four-door sedan, a couple of Triumphs, early model Holdens and two great-looking Jaguars to name a few,” he said.

Amanda and Clint Cole won a $100 Tyrepower voucher at Cars and Coffee Benalla.

With Historic Winton coming up on May 24 and 25, organisers had been in touch with Mr Wigley to offer nine tickets to award to exhibitors.

“I spoke to people with classic cars, and those who seemed interested in racing,” he said.

“They were all very happy to receive them, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out they were valued at $90 each.”

Bob Stone won a $50 Tyrepower voucher at Cars and Coffee Benalla on Sunday, May 18.

On top of the Historic Winton tickets, there was two vouchers donated by Tyrepower Benalla.

“We gave out a $100 voucher to Clinton and Amanda Cole, and a $50 voucher to Bob Stone,” he said.
