The former Peanut Company of Australia promotional truck made its debut under its new Council ownership at this month’s Motors’N’Mochas in Kingaroy

March 2, 2026

There’s no competitions, no trophies, no entry fees – and not even any obligation to always show up – but that’s what’s made Motors’N’Mochas so popular in Kingaroy

The latest outing, organised by Kingaroy resident Paul Zenovich on February 22, attracted an incredible 450 vehicles plus about 100 motorbikes.

“It was our biggest one yet,” Paul said.

The first Motors’N’Mochas was held in mid-2022 and attracted 150 vehicles (Paul had expected about 20 …)

The second outing in February 2023 proved to be even bigger, and the event has continued to grow since then.

Motors’N’Mochas is held twice a year at the Kingaroy & District Vintage Machinery Club grounds near Kingaroy Airport.

The concept is simple … bring along your pride and joy to show it off for a couple of hours on a lazy Sunday morning, buy a coffee from the vans, visit the club’s canteen to get some food and, of course, admire all the other amazing machines on display.

Paul said he started Motors’N’Mochas because he knew there were a lot of “cool cars” in town which only seemed to come out for the high school formals.

“I started it so I could see a lot of them myself!” he said.

“It’s not a show, it’s a ‘park up’. You just show up so you can appreciate your vehicle, and everyone else’s vehicle.”

The dollar value of the vehicles that roll in can be astounding.

“On one occasion, we had two cars worth about $250,000 each parked side by side,” he said.

Last Sunday’s display would have been worth a total of a couple of million at least.

No date has been set yet for the next Motors’N’Mochas but it will be advertised ahead of time on the event’s Facebook page
