Hundreds have descended on Murray Bridge’s riverfront over the weekend for a display of chrome and grunt.

Most of Murray Bridge Autofest took place at the speedway on Friday and Saturday nights, but on Saturday morning, dozens of participants brought their cars down to Sturt Reserve for a show and shine.

For every pimped-out contemporary ride, like Shane Laws-Bennett’s lowered and illuminated Holden ute, there was a tale spanning years of hard work to polish an old wreck into something special.

Karoonda’s Brenton Zadow might have taken the cake – he pulled his Torana out of a paddock at Sandalwood for $200 and toiled for two and a half years to get it back into pristine condition.
