9th Annual Classic Car & Bike Show
The Venue
At the bottom of Timour Hall Rd in Plumstead, down a long avenue of ancient oaks, stands the beautiful historic home, Timour Hall Villa. Despite having been empty for many years, the house was selected as the site for the International Police Association Hospitality House in Cape Town. Repaired and restored, the house was inaugurated as the second IPA Hospitality House in South Africa in December 1989. http://timourhall.com
The Event
This event is one of the highlights of the IPA calendar and has become something of an institution here in the Cape amongst nostalgia buffs and fans. Held annually on the last weekend in January, it features some of the rarest and most beautiful cars and bikes in the Cape and is one of only a handful of exhibits on this scale. In 2007, for the first time, the exhibition was held over two full days with great success.

Saturday 23 January – Modern Classics
|
On day one of the Show, the exhibition will consist of vehicles which can be defined as ‘Modern Classics”. These include Hot Rods, Street Rods, souped up vehicles, racing cars and bikes, custom vehicles and motorcycles and of course, a few new cars and bikes! This is a day that will appeal to many motoring enthusiasts, but it is important to note that there will be no old or Classic vehicles on display. |
Sunday 24 January – Classics |
On day two of the Show, the exhibition will consist of vehicles dating from as far back as the late 1890’s, to more recent times. These are the classics that invoke an era of elegance, a more relaxed way of life and a time when craftsmanship was an important element of vehicle design and manufacture. This is always a popular display and will appeal to anyone with a love of restored and maintained classic vehicles. |
As always, there will be plenty of refreshments available, with food stalls to tickle the taste buds, cool drinks to banish thirst and even a beer garden and cash bar. There will also be a jumping castle to entertain the kids.
There is ample parking on site, with spill-over parking in the surrounding area. In 2010, the entry to the event, which opens on each day at 10am and closes at 4pm, will be R20 per person with children under the age of 12 free.
