The Noosa Beach Classic Car Club

The Noosa Beach Classic Car Club has been running this event since 1988. It has become one of the most prestigious ‘ Classic Car Shows ‘ of the year in Australia, and is featured in many prominent motoring magazines around the world.

Some of the past ‘Marques of the Year’ have been Ferrari, Porche, Lamborghini, Maserati, Aston Martin, Jaguar, and Corvette.

In 2009 the ‘Marque of the Year’ will be BRISTOL. These beautiful cars have been made in England by the Car Division of the Bristol Aeroplane Company since 1947, and are still being produced today.

With clear aircraft influence, the aluminium bodied Bristols are of timeless and distinctive aerodynamic appearance. The Bristol Owners’ Club of Australia is enthusiastically attending the event.

On display we hope to have 40 to 50 Bristol cars with models from 1947 to 1975. The Bristol history, as well as many sporting triumphs, encompasses many post war sporting and racing cars using Bristol 6 cylinder engines ( eg Fraser Nash, Cooper ), and participation in rallies from Monte Carlo and the Miglia Miglia in 1947, with the Model 400 to Le Mans in 1953 with the 450, and in 1954 with the desirable 405 drophead saloon.

From 1961, Bristol cars were powered by Chrysler V8 engines, and more recently the Dodge Viper V10 in the Bristol Fighter, to satisfy the demand for the highest performance, to match the premium, handbuilt quality of the cars.

The Noosa Beach Classic Car Show takes place at the Noosa Heads Lions’ Park with up to 300 Historic and Classic Cars on display in a beautiful setting on the Noosa River, close to Hastings Street, well known for its Café and Shopping culture.

Owners of Historic and Classic Cars are invited to display on the day and the Exhibitor fee is $15 per car including 2 people. Set up is between 6am and 9am. Spectators entry fee is $5 and children under 14 years are free.

The proceeds go toward the running of the event, local charities and student driver training programmes.

A free shuttle bus runs between Noosa Heads and the Cinema Complex on Sunshine Beach Road at Noosa Junction.
