The club’s September 11 show is open to all cars as opposed to its July event which was only open to cars more than 20-years-old.

“All cars are welcome,” said PRO Tom Leslie. “Motorbikes, vans, all vehicles of interest are welcome.”

The club launched the event at Killarney Racecourse on Wednesday night. Tickets for their car raffle – and a chance to win a 40-year-old fully restored Toyota Starlet – will be on sale throughout the event.
