Engines ready for 2025 Laurieton Vintage Motor Club Show and Shine

CAR lovers and families looking for a fun day out should clear their calendar for Sunday, 7 September, as the Laurieton Vintage Motor Club Show and Shine returns for 2025.

Held from 10am to 2pm at the Laurieton United Services Club and the adjacent Club Reserve on Seymour Street, the event is expected to draw a strong crowd with approximately 100 classic cars and motorcycles on display.

Vehicles from several regional car clubs will feature, with eight judged categories to be decided on the day.

The Laurieton Vintage Motor Club (LVMC), which was founded in 2016, is a not-for-profit organisation made up of passionate motoring enthusiasts.

Their aim is to promote the restoration and preservation of vintage vehicles in a friendly and social atmosphere.

The Show and Shine is a highlight of their calendar and a great opportunity for the wider community to admire some beautifully maintained classics.

LVMC Show and Shine coordinator Steve McLean said the team is eager to build on the success of last year’s event.

“We had a great event last year and we are looking forward to another successful day,” he said.

“We’re very grateful to Council who provided some funding to support this year’s event, as well as all of our sponsors. Without them it wouldn’t be possible. We’re lucky to have great enthusiasm from our members and entrants who make the show very worthwhile checking out.”

Entry is free for spectators, and the event also serves as a fundraiser, with this year’s proceeds supporting Community at 3 and Can-Survive.

Visitors can participate in the LVMC People’s Choice Award by casting a vote via gold coin donation.

Trophy categories include Best Exhibit with Display, People’s Choice, Best in Show, Australian Pre 1970, Australian 1970 to 1995, Non-Australian Pre 1960, Non-Australian 1960 to 1995, and Motorbike Pre 1995.
