Leyburn 2025 - Waggott XJ13 Carts

Mark and Ben from Australian Car Collector head to an unforgettable experience at the Historic 2025 Leyburn Sprints. This year was particularly exciting, as the event showcased a fascinating new era of Cycle Carts, drawing the attention of enthusiasts and seasoned collectors alike. Beyond the fascination of the Cycle Carts, Mark and Ben connect with the custodians of history, seeking out the owners of the famous Centaur Waggott to hear their personal tales and insights into these legendary vehicles. A major highlight is a up-close look at a meticulously crafted recreation of Digby and Gwen Cook's iconic Jaguar XJ13. This stunning tribute offers a glimpse into the golden age of racing and the enduring legacy of automotive design and performance.

Celebrating the 1949 Australian Grand Prix

In 1949, Leyburn like every small country town in Australia was rebuilding after World War 2. The opportunity to host the Australian Grand Prix - the nation's most important motor race - on a nearby ex-wartime aerodrome provided a highlight for people throughout the Darling Downs region. Race day on 18 September 1949 still stands as the most populated time in Leyburn’s history and those who attend this year’s 29th annual Historic Sprints will appreciate what an amazing occasion it was when 30,000 people descended on a community so small but so welcoming. Ben and I will again be covering the action, will see you there!
