Nasrec was the ideal venue for the Classic Car Show, hosted by Classiccars.co.za. The show also included a German vs. Japan car show, which featured some of the most spectacular and modified cars from all ages.

Spectacular paint jobs and stickers adorned most of the cars. An old-school Chev, with classic police detail, sported this amusing sticker.

The modified section, showcasing some of the most polished and prized cars, attracted plenty of attention. Trikes, completely customised, also pulled their fair share of spectators.

Most people can only dream about owning one of these classics. The paint job - or rather work of art - on this Ford Mustang displays its beauty and power in a different way.

The Show and Shine section drew plenty of entries. With old and new, bright and bold, standard and modified cars to choose from, the judges had their work cut out for them.

Visitors to the show not only had plenty of eye candy they also had the option of going in one of the Speed and Sound Chev Lumina drift cars, an experience that is absolutely awesome.

A slightly different kind of guest, but enjoying the Classic Car Show just as much as his two-legged friend nonetheless.
