Classic cars from across the country will be heading for George for the annual Old Car Show on February 10 and 11 this year.
Pristine classic cars from all corners of the country will be streaming into the Southern Cape for the 27th edition of the George Old Car Show. Upwards of 1 000 classic cars are expected for this highly-rated motor festival.
And the line-up of cars will showcase a sweep of time in South African Motoring history that dates back more than 100 years to modern cars that have already achieved “instant classic” status. If you have a particular marque favourite, chances are you will have a couple of examples to whet your appetite. From Alfa Romeos to Zephyrs, they will all be there, judging by the early entries already received for the George Old Car Show 2024.
Owners of pre-1985 classic cars should note that only cars pre-entered for the show will be allowed into the show area for display purposes. To enter a classic car for the event, use the following link: https://scocc.co.za/register/index-new.php.
