Event manager John Kessner said that the call was out for marques celebrating anniversaries of 50 years all the way through to 120 years.
“This year we are looking for some exotics like the 120 year-old Lagonda or the 100 year-old Bugatti Type 35 to more familiar and well-loved cars like the Mercedes Benz, XR Falcon, HR Holden, Mitsubishi Sigma, Volkswagen Golf and even the good old Ford Fiesta,” Kessner said.
“And of course, we are celebrating 100 years since Ford commenced manufacturing in Australia and 110 years since its sales of the Model T commenced here.
“Clubs are signing up but the more the merrier, with individuals invited to display their ‘pride and joy’ anniversary vehicles as well.”
For the second year in a row, the event will feature a Saturday parade of anniversary and specialty vehicles in addition to the Sunday Parade.
Those with approved display cars receive free entry for the drive and one passenger. To apply, relevant historic vehicle owners can please contact Historic Winton by email at displays@historicwinton.org with vehicle year, make, model and photo.
