Historic cars from as far as Penang ,Kuala Lumpur, Negeri Sembilan ,Johor and Singapore congregated at the Ayer Keroh toll plaza on a rainy Saturday morning before being guided under police escort to greet the Malacca classic car fraternity at this historic location. Fifty cars were lined up in front of the picturesque fort which made it a perfect background for the cars and shutterbugs alike. Before commencement of concours judging at 3pm,the location was already abuzz with thousands of spectators,also local and foreign tourist.About 60 000 people thronged the seaside location despite scorching mid-day weather conditions. The competition was divided into the three traditional categories: Vintage(pre-1959),Classic(1960-1975) and Modern Classic(1976-1987) where the cars were judged based on preparation,condition,correctness,cleanliness and originality.
