Classic Japan is an annual car & bike show open to vehicles from all Japanese manufacturers that are at least 25 years old. What began as a small idea in 2011 has grown into one of the largest gatherings of nostalgic j-tin in the Southern Hemisphere with over 500 cars & bikes displaying the proud design and engineering heritage that Japan has offered the world. You won't find any egos or trophies here just enthusiasts sharing their passion with one another.
Vendors food trucks and merchandise will be available at the event.

Shannons Insurance
