Pre 1960 racing, sports cars and invited sedans, specifically
CAMS Groups J & K, L, M and invited Na and Sa vehicles competed in this
category. Marques including Bugatti, Mercedes, Alfa Romeo, Austin-Healey and
Lotus certainly made the category very interesting. At the bottom of this page I
have included some thoughts and altered images suggesting a 'Revival' display
similar to the Goodwood Revival.
PIT IMAGES: There
was plenty of eye candy in this category, I have selected two cars that
highlight the quality of machinery at the Tasman Revival...
1927: #35: BUGATTI T35C
The 'T35C' incorporates a 'straight eight' 1.91 litre SOHC engine
with three valves per cylinder, producing 130BHP at 5,300rpm, the motor is supercharged with a Roots Type Supercharger
and a single updraft Zenith carburettor.

1927~1935: #35: BUGATTI &
41: ALFA ROMEO:
I have 'digitally altered' selected Tasman Revival images
below to hopefully prompt some thought for future Tasman Revival meetings to
include a 'REVIVAL' in a similar manner to that of the
Goodwood Revival. The suggestion is to
locate the Bugatti, Alfa Romeo and other selected cars from the era in the 'one
garage/pit area' and request the Entrants/Owners bring along some period
costumes for possibly a 'lunch break' Revival scene.
