CELEBRATING HERITAGE

SUNDAY, 17 MAY 2026

ENJOY THE JOURNEY – CONNECT WITH ENTHUSIASTS

Take to the roads of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands on a relaxed classic and vintage car tour, open to all pre-1985 cars. Designed for the enjoyment of the drive, the day offers beautiful scenery, good company, and a shared appreciation for motoring heritage among fellow enthusiasts.

With four regularity stages, three short scenic stops, and no pressure to compete, this is all about celebrating heritage and the joy of vintage motoring. Our route winds through the stunning KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, with a coffee break at Fable Eatery, followed by delicious scones at Fern Hill Hotel, before a leisurely loop around the historic grounds of Hilton College and returning to Amber Glades.
