It’s very important to us as a club to share our love of veteran, vintage, and classic vehicles with others that share that love or are curious. During the festival there will be a many opportunities for the public to come along and get in amongst the action. Lunch stops will be open to the public at various places around the Nelson Tasman region and there will be public vehicle displays in both Nelson City and in Richmond. Details will be updated closer to the event so please keep checking back here. We’d love to see you there.
