Bring your treasured wheels – classic, vintage, modern, hot rod, muscle car or motorcycle – or just come along for the rare opportunity to see a large, private collection of classic cars in a showroom.
Sealord supervisor Graeme Blincoe and manager Adrian McGillan are organising the Sealord Charity Car Show, on Sunday, 27 November.
The car show is a first for Sealord, with proceeds going to Nelson Women’s Refuge. Entry to the show is by gold coin and Sealord will ‘top up the buckets’ with a company contribution also.
Graeme says the idea for the show quickly gathered speed once they had the support of Westfleet Managing Director Craig Boote who will lift the lid on his “spectacular and largely hidden collection of unseen gems”, garaged in his Vickerman Street showroom.
Cars will be on display on Duncan Street as well, with council support and a road management plan in place.
“There’s lots of room – bring the kids, grab a coffee and you could walk away with a spot prize also,” says Graeme, adding that it’s best to leave dogs at home and to lock your bicycle up rather than walk it around vehicles.
Avid car enthusiasts Graeme and Adrian knew they could pull together an amazing collection and saw the opportunity for a fundraising event. Graeme is also drawing on his experience as founder of the Nelson Car Show in 2005.
