Visitors to the 46th Historic Winton, to be held at Winton Motor Raceway on May 27 and 28, will be amazed by the impressive array of vehicles celebrating anniversaries as old as 120 years.
The displays are on show alongside the two days of historic motorsport action.
Fields of cars, emergency vehicles, old buses, trucks and motorbikes and the like stretch around the track, drawing people from far and wide to the Winton venue.
Austin 7 Club president and Historic Winton organiser Len Kerwood said that both the official anniversary displays and the car park display of “pride of place” vehicles were always a sight to behold for spectators and competitors alike.
“It’s great to see that in among the anniversaries, three Australian milestones stand out: that of the EH Holden turns 60; the FJ Holden will be 70; and the anniversary of the start of the adventurous Redex Trials (sponsored by Redex and others) that saw cars touring the Australian countryside from 1953 to 1998,” he said.
Clubs and individuals are invited to display their cars and motorcycles that reach notable milestones in 2023.
