This past Sunday saw Auckland’s North Shore locals get a glimpse of some motoring excellence in their own backyard with the first annual Bayswater Auto Show.

Held at Bayswater School near Devonport, the show was a fundraising initiative for the school. Brilliant sunshine shone down as the 2000 plus crowd were welcomed by over 130 cars, trucks and bikes. Including displays from the Cobra Club, Jag Owners Club, Fraser Car Club, American Classic and American Muscle Car Club. Cars ranged from a 2010 Camaro, to a 900hp Hemi Road Runner, to Minis, Hot Rods, Mustangs, and even a 1925 Dodge. The latest offerings from Jaguar, BMW, Mercedes, and VW were also on show.

Not surprisingly the day had a very kid friendly atmosphere with plenty to keep the young ones entertained. All the usual school fair stands and stalls were present with lucky dips, raffles, inflatable slides, and sausage sizzles. Combined with live music, radio controlled car demos, Fire Service and Police displays, it became a great way to pass a few lazy Sunday hours.

Bayswater School wants to say a huge thankyou to all participants, sponsors and attendees and look out for an even bigger and better show in 2011.
