Words: Wilhelm Lutjeharms

The annual Classic Car & Bike Show in Plumstead has been a regular on the Cape Town calendar since 2000, often referred to as the Timour Hall Classic Car show. It is the perfect event for the whole family where you can view a wide range of classic cars from different brands and eras as well as classic motorcycles. 

SentiMETAL will also be in attendance with a stall selling t-shirts, limited-edition prints, scale model cars and more!

More importantly, if you visit this event, or have visited it before, you will greatly benefit from meeting likeminded individuals who might be able to assist you in finding a missing part for your current restoration project or simply to exchange car-related anecdotes. The autojumble features stalls that sells parts, books, service manuals or car models, just to name a few.

Several motor clubs are also present and apart from the owners bringing their cars to the event, you will also be able to meet and talk to fellow owners about all things car-related.

Every year a donation is made to a selected charity, which you can learn more about by following this link on the event’s website.
