Mr Coxhead, of Bright, joined about 150 other car enthusiasts to raise money for the Burrumbuttock Hay Runners on Sunday.
Mr Coxhead had his 1921 Vauxhall E Type 30-98 on display.
“We’ve had it for 72 years – my father bought it in 1994 and he used to compete in it back in the ‘40s and ‘50s,” he said.
“My dad was a founding member of the car Vintage Sports Car Club of Victoria.
“When dad passed away I took the car over and I’ve had it for some seven years now.
“My car had a bit of interest, being what it is – it’s always good for a chat.
“We enjoyed it – of course it was a good cause too.”
Antique Car Club of Albury-Wodonga Club secretary John Schuurman said the event raised $3500 for the hay runners.
“We were very satisfied with the turnout,” he said.
