Showpieces from a previous era will leave visitors breathless at this year's George Old Car Show that will be held on Saturday 14 February at the Eden Technical High School in the Western Cape town.
Under this year’s theme, “Pioneers of Motoring,” the show pays tribute to the visionaries and innovators who shaped the automobile’s remarkable journey from its earliest days to the classics we cherish today.
The George Old Car Show has grown into one of South Africa’s most celebrated motoring exhibitions. It attracts collectors, restorers, and enthusiasts from across the country and offers a nostalgic showcase of an era gone by.
On display will be veteran, vintage, and classic cars, along with historic motorcycles, commercial vehicles, and tractors, each telling its own story in the evolution of motoring.
Exhibitors are invited to register no later than 31 January to be part of this proud tradition. Whether your passion lies in the earliest motorcars that pioneered the roads, the timeless elegance of pre-war craftsmanship, or the iconic classics that defined later generations - the show will be the opportunity to share a piece of motoring history.
