WHO said antique machinery enthusiasts were a straight-laced lot?

Members of the Port Phillip Historical Machinery Club are accustomed to stripping down their beloved pieces of vintage vehicles and farm machinery, and it appears they have no problem stripping themselves when needed.

The club's Janine Ridley came up with the idea of a fund-raising calendar and convinced 11 fellow members to join her in posing nude with their bits of equipment.

Pictured is Mr January, Jack Hoeksema, operating his fully restored Wolseley sheep shearing plant.

Janine, who took all the photographs except the one of herself, posed as Ms May with her 1928 Indian Scout motorcycle.

The other female participant is octogenarian Phyllis, who is just four years older than the 1928 Chev Tourer in which she posed as Ms June.
