THE LARGEST DISPLAY OF CLASSIC VEHICLES IN PERTH
Each year the classic motoring clubs affiliated to the Council of Motoring Clubs WA come together to put on a combined display that showcases the variety and diversity of the classic motoring movement.
This year’s show is held on Sunday 1st May 2022 at Ascot Racecourse. Gates open to the public at 10am to 3pm.
ABOUT THE SHANNON’S CLASSIC CAR SHOW
In 1969 five British motoring clubs came together in King’s Park, Perth to put on a combined display. 60 cars attended. The event was so successful that it was repeated again the following year, with more clubs attending. The event continued to grow until by the mid-1970s several hundred cars were attending. The coordination of a multi-club car show led to the formation of a coordinating body – the Combined Car Clubs (CMC).
The CMC has subsequently grown to become a representative body that liaises with government and the community on matters that affect the classic motoring community and the Classic Car Show has become THE major event on the motoring calendar. The show draws around 1000 vehicles of all types, representing the diversity and vibrancy of Perth’s motoring community.
