The Concours run was our second big road trip. A few of us had always wanted to see the Mercedes-Benz Club of Victoria’s concours event. So we built a trip around it. We learned a few things from the first trip, including not starting in Sydney as well as optional numbers of cars and distance in a day.
The second trip was a five day, 3000km road trip with a group of 9 Classic Mercedes-Benz. We took the Alpine routes to Melbourne, primarily the Great Alpine Road. From there, drove to Melbourne for the MBCV tech day on Saturday, and Concours on Sunday. Then, we took the inland route back home, going through towns like Parkes.
