Tennis, anyone?

Thomas Billicsich (also known to us as the Steyrman) sends these pictures that were taken during "2012 Steyr-Treffen" which was held last weekend at ‘Schlögen an der Donauschlinge’ in Austria. It’s the only place where the Danube flows in a western direction. This Steyr event is held every two years and brings together the owners of Steyr cars from all over Europe. This year it attracted nearly forty cars from 1925 to 1938 and even one Dutchmen was there looking for parts for his Steyr 50. A tennis lawn looks like a very nice location for a PreWarCar meeting to us, but somehow we don't think we will get permission to use the sacred fields of Wimbledon :-0

In Melbourne in the 1950s & 60s the late Peter Rollason had 2 1953 6-cyl Steyr Vs, one of which he used regularly, the other a spare with a home-made commercial body. He was proud of a photo showing the Steyr towing Jim Kelso's Rolls-Royce Phantom 1. Where are these cars now, I wonder? The Steyr's imposing pointed radiator and set of Bosch headlights & path lights, all inspired me to buy the similar-looking 1923 Elite in 1963, now 50% restored.

Good thing this wasn't a British car gathering. All the oil leaked on the tennis court would have ruined it.
