GEORGE NEWS - One of the largest gatherings of classic Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars ever assembled in South Africa will headline the 28th George Old Car Show on 8 February.
More than 20 examples of “the best car in the world” will be on display to the public from 09:00 at the Eden Technical High School grounds in central George.
Over 1 000 cars and motorcycles have entered for the show, which this year will be a one-day-only event, taking place on the second Saturday in February.
As huge crowds are expected, visitors are encouraged to book online via iTickets or to pay using bank cards at the gate, to speed up entry to the grounds.
The British Rolls and Bentley aristocrats of the motoring world on view will range in age from the early 1920s through to the modern era, as both Rolls-Royce and Bentley are today still current names in the world of automobilia, after over a century in existence.
The oldest Bentley on show, a 1922 3-Litre Tourer, is one of the oldest surviving Bentleys in the world.
For many enthusiasts, the 1930 Bentley 4,5-litre Le Mans, owned by Cape Town’s Harry Tayler, will be the most exciting car on the show, as it has the same appearance and specification of the car that won the 1928 Le Mans 24 Hour and helped create the Bentley sporting heritage that exists to this day.
The car on show has recently undergone a full nut-and-bolt restoration by Vintage Bentley Limited in West Sussex, England, and will be shown here for the first time.
