This year’s event will take place on Sunday 1 May at Knysna High School sports fields on Waterfront Drive. Peter Pretorius, chairman of the organising Garden Route Motor Club, invites all auto enthusiasts, the public and their families to come and experience what has established itself as a prestigious and exciting motor show. The categories of vehicles on display will be classic cars with a bias towards sports cars, modern potential classic cars, sports and supercars, veteran, vintage and post-vintage cars built prior to 1940 and veteran, vintage and classic road and racing motorcycles.

Classic Car Africa magazine will once again sponsor two Concours d’Elegance floating trophies. In addition Auto Glym will sponsor the Style et Luxe floating trophy for the most elegant and luxurious car on view. The motorcycle floating trophy, sponsored by All Sound Security, will be awarded to the best motorcycle on display. The winners of these trophies will be selected by independent judges.

Over the past four years close to R200 000 has been distributed to Hospice, Animal Welfare, E-Pap (children feeding scheme), Knysna High School bursary fund and FAMSA . The drive this year will again be to raise monies for these charities.
