Concerned with the negative impact the Luxury Car Tax (LCT) has had on the Historic Car movement in Australia, a group of clubs have formed the Australian Historic Vehicle Interest Group under the direction of our past President, Doug Young.
This page will help our members and visitors to stay up to date with the Group's activities and progress with relevant articles, links and submissions.

VIRGINS BREAKFAST - January 2019. We aim to be driving up the mountain (Mt. Nebo in the Brisbane Forest Park) at a time when both the sun and moon are visible in the sky. This juxtaposition of heavenly bodies is said to have something to do with virgins, although nobody seems too sure just what the connection might be. This year the moon got away early but we had an excellent turnout of cars and crews. Photos from Brian McMIllan
MORNING TEA AND A QUICK SHOOFTI - 6 February 2019. A fine turnout at the Little Corner Cafe in the lovely old-fashioned suburb of Wooloowin, followed by a visit to the Sir Henry Royce Foundation sub-Archive. The star turn of the day was the appearance of John and Wendy Wagstaff in Quicksilver, the ex-David McPhee 1909 Silver Ghost. Pictures by Brian McMIllan
MIDNIGHT TO DAWN - 25 February 2019. Cyclone Oma faded away and our intrepid motorists took to roads of south-east Queensland by moonlight, on a route designed by Dave Fletcher. Pictures from Brian McMIllan and Wolf Grodd.
CLUBROOMS 25th ANNIVERSARY - 2 March 2019. A wonderful gathering of clubs, cars and people celebrated the 25th Anniversary of the opening of the VCCA(Q) clubrooms. Lunch was laid on - thank you! - and everyone enjoyed a rare treat: lots of fascinating cars without the public.. Pictures from Brian McMIllan, wolf Grodd., Peter Ransom
ALVIS CENTENARY NATIONAL RALLY - April 2019. Not exactly a VCCQ event but many of our Alvis owners and friends took the opportunity to join this important event at Albury, NSW. Pictures from Brian McMIllan.

LOST WEEKEND - TOOWOOMBA, May 2019. The R-R and Bentley crowd used Toowoomba as the base for their celebration of the Bentley Centenary. This gave us an excellent reason to head in that direction for a weekend of motoring and generally having a good time. Photographs supplied by David Fryer.
