Am 5. August 2018 fand einmal mehr das monatliche Oldtimer-Treffen namens “Oldtimer Sunday Morning” in den Stierenstallungen von Zug statt. Trotz brütender Hitze fanden sich viele Klassiker aus über acht Jahrzehnten ein. Frühaufsteher mussten dabei noch etwas weniger unter der Hitze leiden als Spätankommer, weshalb sich das Feld denn auch unüblich früh wieder zu leeren begann.

Diese Bildergeschichte gibt Eindrücke vom Treffen wieder und zeigte einige besondere Autos.
