The Lamborghini Silhouette was one of the star attractions at Motorclassica. MELBOURNE'S Motorclassica broke attendance records this year and Brisbane's M&A Lane is shaping up as a must-go food precinct. MELBOURNE show Motorclassica, now in its fourth year, attracted a record attendance of 20,000 this year, up 40 per cent on 2012, organisers say. The Royal Exhibition Building played host to scores of collectible cars and motorbikes, including an impressive line-up of Lamborghinis (a Silhouette, pictured) and an appearance by the brand's legendary test driver, Valentino Balboni. A rare 1968 Lamborghini Miura was the auction highlight, fetching $757,550, while the first Australian-made Holden prototype 48-215 sold for $668,750. The Spirit of Motorclassica award went to a Ferrari 275 GTB Coupe and the People's Choice was a Ferrari 246 Dino. The event returns next October. M&A Lane - part of Brisbane's new M&A commercial/residential/retail development in Fortitude Valley - is shaping as the town's most interesting new food precinct. A number of established operators have signed on, including locals Simon O'Brien and Clayton Burns, who hope to have Mighty Mighty on tap early next month. Enter chef Adam Herbert (pictured), a bear of a man entrusted with creating an American smokehouse/southern BBQ identity for the 90-seater. "We're not trying to create an American restaurant in Australia," says Herbert. We want to bring the flavours of America, and southern smokehouse barbecue in particular, to an urban Australian setting. Expect ribs.
