Motorfest programme.

To the Motoring Enthusiast
Federation Motorfest Classic 2015
Motorfest Classic for 2015 is here and welcome to this year’s events. The events have been
organised by some of South Australia’s great historic car clubs and will certainly be of interest to our
Interstate, Country and local enthusiasts. Again the various day outings will take you to many well known, and some not so well known places of interest. Our destinations range from the lower mid north to the Fleurieu showcasing so much of our great state of South Australia. We trust that as many of you as possible will take advantage of this wonderful programme and avail yourselves to as many Motorfest Classic events as possible. Please be aware that you do not require a specific vehicle to enter any of these events. You may use any vehicle you wish to, including your current model family car or Mum’s taxi.
Happy Motoring. Graham Tonkin
Federation Motorfest Classic Director
