Knysna motor show gears up
Petrolheads in for a treat with fantastic cars, food
KNYSNA is gearing up for one of the most important motor events of the year. This year’s Knysna Motor Show promises to again thrill petrolheads, Garden Route Motor Club chairman Peter Pretorius says.
The event will take place on May 1 on the Knysna High School sports fields and include fantastic cars and motorcycles, great people, delicious food and beer garden set in a country-style atmosphere, Pretorius says.
In addition, new car dealers and related trade stands will be placed strategically among the car and motorcycle displays.
The planning for the motor show is well on target and all indications are that it will again be an awesome show and one not to be missed, he says.
“Over the past four years the motor show has grown exponentially and is recognised as one of the premier motor shows, attracting some of the best 300 to 400 cars and motorcycles in South Africa,” Pretorius says.
“The objective for this year is to again lift the standard, providing an opportunity for owners of high quality unique cars and motorcycles to be part of the display. “The motor show is all about quality and not volume. To ensure that this vision is realised all cars and motor cycles displayed are personally invited and selected,” he says.
With the popularity of the Knysna motor show growing, it is estimated that in total, more than 5 000 visitors will attend.
The show has been the source of much needed funds for local charities. Over the past four years close to R200 000 has been distributed to Hospice, Animal Welfare, E-Pap (child-feeding scheme), Knysna High School bursary fund and Famsa.
Gates open to the public from 9.30am to 4pm and the entrance charge is R40 for adults, R10 for pupils aged 12 to 18 and no charge for children under-12
