Enthusiasts brought their 1952 to 1960 Jaguar XKs to town on Wednesday, October 9, and are set to depart on Sunday, October 13.
Visitors to town were from Melbourne, Adelaide and Shepparton, with about 40 people making the journey over 15 XKs.

Tomorrow, they will cruise off to Deniliquin for the day, ending the day at Moama RSL for dinner.
“These are all cars that actually like cruising,” Mr Armfield said.
“The cars themselves, they’re literally designed to do what that say. The 120 is 120 mile-an-hour car, the 150s a 150-mile-an-hour car.
“That’s what they were designed to do, and they’ve won all sorts of records.”
