Asia Klasika Motor Festival 2014

The months of October and November are certainly not to be missed when it comes to those who love and appreciate automobiles in Malaysia. These two months are when a number of notable automobile shows are held including the one we are talking about today, the Asia Klasika Motor Festival or also simply known as Asia Klasika 2014 that happened over the last weekend. A little bit away from tradition, the previous shows were held together with the NST Car of the Year event but this time the organisers decided to move on their own and it certainly was not a letdown.

1926 Rolls-Royce Twenty Tourer

Historic Motoring Ventures being the organisers, held the event at the beautiful and scenic Pullman Putrajaya Lakeside Hotel. With the number of cars in attendance it was no surprise why they needed a big space as there were easily a hundred over cars and motorcycles on display as well as some for sale at their ‘The Pullman Sale’ section. What an impressive array of cars they had which included a good blend of British, German, Italian, Japanese and many other makes from various countries.

I’ve included a few photos below. As you may realise I did not take photos of many cars as I only took those cars that naturally attracted me. I will caption the photos for easy identification but I must say the two favourites of mine have to be the 1926 Rolls-Royce Twenty Tourer as well as the Mercedes-Benz 500K Roadster which I have previously featured. Haha.. I definitely can’t run too far from my obsession with the British and German Automobiles.

Charity Drive

For the first post for the month of September, I’ll be doing a write-up of a Charity Drive which we did on the 31^st of August. The 31^st of August is a very significant day in Malaysia as it is our National Day, and it’s been for a few years where a group of classic car owners do some charity. We usually meet at a central location and ferry the underprivileged children from various homes for lunch, in our classics of course.

This drive was organised by MY Classic Cars (MCC) together with Community Support Network (CSN) and as it is an annual event, more participants are welcomed to support this good cause. We had over 60 cars as well as over 20 Harley Davidson owners that turned up with their bikes to escort us and of course that was a good experience for the children who thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We too sent our Jaguars in support of the event and even our very own World Rally Champion, Karamjit Singh came and gave his support to this event.

Once at the lunch destination, the kids had games to entertain them as well as lunch for them as well as us. It was a great gathering and kudos to the organisers. I’ve attached some photos as below. Many rare car species in Malaysia which include a ’59 Cadillac as well as a Chevrolet Impala also lent their support. They are not too clear as they were taken using my mobile phone.
