The Austin 7 Club, in association with the HMRAV, has announced that the 46th Historic Winton car and motorcycle event will take place on May 27 and 28, promising excitement for enthusiasts and fans of motorsport.

The event will feature races, displays and a busy marketplace of motor-related goods and paraphernalia. Boasting vehicles that are celebrating anniversaries of up to 120 years, along with many 60s and 70s era Holdens, fans of these classics will have no shortage of beauties to behold.

“It’s great to see that in amongst the anniversaries, three Australian milestones stand out – the EH Holden turns 60, the FJ Holden will be 70, and the anniversary of the start of the adventurous Redex Trials that saw cars touring the Australian countryside from 1953 – 1998,” said Austin 7 Club President Len Kerwood.

“This will be staged for the first time and is expected to add to the spectacle,” Kerwood said.

"The traditional highlight of the Sunday Parade returns, which always has crowds enthralled.

“We get a lot of requests to join in the Sunday Parade because everyone wants to do of lap of Winton Motor Raceway in their ‘pride and joy’ car, motorbike, bus, fire engine or other mode of land transport."

Event and camping ticket sales are now available and can be purchased at a discount price from Ticketbo.
