George Old Car Show 2010



The Southern Cape Old Car Club
is proud to present the 14th annual
George Old Car Show
on the 13th and 14th of February 2010
at the PW Botha College venue in York Street, George

The first George Old Car show was held in 1997 on Paul Fick’s farm, “Blackwood”, near Victoria Bay. Enthusiasts were able to view the 80 cars on show, with the Lion’s Club organising the food and refreshments. From there on, in 1998, the show was hosted at the George Riding club with approximately 250 cars and tractors participating.

In 2000 the show had grown from strength to strength and a larger venue in PW Botha College was found. The venue offers more than enough space for show cars, tractors, motorcycles as well as large grounds for safe public parking. Various motor clubs attend the show annually with the opportunity to participate in a drive past to exhibit their dream wheels. In 2009 more than 800 cars were on show and for next year an even greater number of exhibitors are expected.

With the focus of the show in 2010 being veteran tractors and stationary engines, it should prove to offer an arrangement of exciting subjects for all to enjoy. To compliment the variety of old cars on show, “Arts in the park”, food stalls, a model car show as well as a well stocked beer garden promises to entertain those who have already enjoyed the old car display to its full potential. Special attention will also be given to kiddies’ entertainment, allowing the parents a stress free show experience.

When: Saturday 13 February from 08h00 to 16h00
Sunday 14 February from 08h00 to 13h00

Entrance Fee:
Saturday: R30 – Adults / R10 Scholars
Sunday: R15 – Adults / R5 Scholars
