A Little History…
The first event for veteran cars in Queensland was the Kalbar to Boonah Run held on December 4th, 1954.
In the spirit of the annual London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, the Wintergarden Theatre - while showing the film "Genevieve" - sponsored the staging of the first Brisbane to Brighton run on February 20th, 1955.
A second run took place on 27th May, 1956, this time sponsored by H G Sleigh (better known as Golden Fleece Petrol). At a meeting of those taking part it was agreed that those who so desired would become the Foundation Members of the Veteran Car Club of Queensland. The first General Meeting was held on the 25th June 1957 with an attendance of 26 foundation members.
In 1962 the club changed its name to the Veteran Car Club of Australia (Qld.) after affiliating with the National body.
