Classic cars ready for show in George

Classic cars from across the country will be heading for George for the annual Old Car Show on February 10 and 11 this year.

24 Old Cars1

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.

Once again the George Old Car Show will be held at the sprawling Eden Technical High School venue in Union Street, George. The organisers are encouraging spectators to pre-book discounted tickets for the show using iTickets. Log on to the iTickets website using this link: https://itickets.co.za/events/475607

The main show day will be Saturday, February 10, while Sunday has been designated a “Family Day” with entertainment provided by the International Oompah Band to add a German flavour to the proceedings, as this year’s show has been given a special German theme.

Traditionally, there is no shortage of German-built machinery at the George Old Car Show, and once again there have been strong entries featuring Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Volkswagen, DKW and Borgward machinery.

The show runs from 08:00 to 18:00 on Saturday the 10th and from 08:00 to 14:00 on Sunday.

The show runs from 8 am to 6 pm on Saturday, February 10 and from 8 am to 2 pm on Sunday, February 11.
