Style and polish Noosa’s own Concours d’Elegance returns to Hastings Street on Saturday 19 July, bringing with it a spectacular line-up of over 50 rare and iconic classic cars, alongside modern automotive standouts and an extended program of lifestyle events for all ages. Back for its third year, the Noosa Concours on Hastings Street has quickly become one of Australia’s most respected lifestyle events, celebrating craftsmanship, design and culture — all set in the heart of Hastings Street, with the natural beauty of Main Beach as its backdrop. As in previous years, Hastings Street will be closed to traffic for the day, allowing locals and visitors alike to stroll the street and admire an extraordinary display of vehicles, including marques such as Ferrari, Aston Martin, Bentley, Bugatti, McLaren, Lamborghini, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, and more. Rare and remarkable highlights from this year’s Noosa Concours display will include: 1964 Aston Martin DB5 Superleggera, a vehicle that gained worldwide fame as the quintessential James Bond car, making its debut in the iconic 007 film Goldfinger. Its appearance in the movie propelled it to legendary status, earning it the title of “the most famous car in the world“. Designed by the renowned Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Touring of Milan, the DB5 utilised the Superleggera (Italian for “super light“) construction technique. This innovative design is reflected in the “Superleggera“ badging proudly displayed on the car’s bonnet. A perfect blend of British craftsmanship and Italian design, the DB5 is more than just a cultural icon - it represents a pinnacle of 1960s automotive elegance and performance.
