Our family have dedicated their blood, sweat and tears into restoring and maintaining vital pieces of Australian motor racing history. The car collection has near 50+ cars that are housed mostly on our Sunshine Coast property, as well as a few museums and showrooms throughout Australia. And it is due to our love of the cars in our collection, that we started our uniquely Australian car care range – Bowden’s Own Premium Car Care.  This is our story.
