One of the largest gatherings of classic Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars ever assembled in South Africa will headline the 28th George Old Car Show on 8 February 2025.
More than 20 examples of “the best car in the world” will be on display to the public from 09:00 at the Eden Technical High School grounds in central George. Over 1 000 cars and motorcycles have entered for the show, which will be a one-day-only event this year, taking place on the second Saturday in February.
The British Rolls and Bentley aristocrats of the motoring world on view will range in age from the early 1920s through to the modern era, as both Rolls-Royce and Bentley are today still current names in the world of automobilia, after existing for over a century. The oldest Bentley on show, a 1922 3-Litre Tourer, is one of the oldest surviving Bentleys in the world.
For many enthusiasts, the 1930 Bentley 4.5-litre Le Mans, owned by Cape Town’s Harry Tayler, will be the most exciting car on the show, as it has the same appearance and specification of the car that won the 1928 Le Mans 24 Hour and helped create the Bentley sporting heritage that exists to this day. The car on show recently had a full nut-and-bolt restoration by Vintage Bentley Limited in West Sussex, England, and will be shown here for the first time.
This year, for the first time, the George Old Car Show will be a one-day event, whereas in the previous 27 renditions the show was held over the Saturday and Sunday. Waldo Scribante, chairperson of the organising club, the Southern Cape Old Car Club, explained that as the show has evolved attracting more and more classics that drive long distances to the show, the tendency was for the “out-of-towners” to leave early on Sunday morning for home. Thus spectators who elected to attend the show on the Sunday were presented with many large gaps that should have been populated by classic cars.

A light on my car’s dashboard came on, and instead of fixing the problem, I waited for the bulb to burn out. Crisis solved.
