2025 All Aussie Auto Show set to highlight Australian classics and unknowns

The 2025 All Aussie Auto Show will not only highlight the classic Australian cars you do recognise, but also some you may not remember were built here

Update: The date for the 2025 All Aussie Auto Show has now changed from March 23 to May 4. The original article runs below unchanged aside from the new event dates.

When you think of what a car show for Australian vehicles might look like, a sea of Holdens and Fords will likely come to mind, with maybe the odd Mitsubishi or Chrysler.

However, the 2025 All Aussie Auto Show is set to challenge that presumption by creating an event which opens attendees’ eyes to the depth and breadth of the Aussie automotive industry.

Coming up on Sunday May 4 at Gough Whitlam Park in Sydney, the event is open to any vehicle built in Australia, whether or not you might realise it was.

To be exact, any car, motorcycle, truck (under four tonnes), tractor, bicycle, or any other kind of vehicle is eligible if it was manufactured in Australia.

Leyland P76

Vehicles such as the Leyland P76 are among the atypical cars you can expect to see at an ‘All Aussie’ car show

This means – at least regarding eligible cars – certain historic Toyota, Renault, Volkswagen, British Leyland, and Nissan models would also be eligible among others.

Over 400 vehicles are expected to be on show at the event, meaning there’s a high chance you’ll see plenty of cars that you didn’t realise might have been a product of our local automotive industry.

Links to enter your vehicle or purchase spectator tickets are available on the Auto Vibes website, while you can also follow the event on Facebook.
