SHEPPARTON’S streets will soon echo with the purr of classic engines as the Victorian Morris Register Inc. brings the 24th National Rally to town from April 24 to 29, 2024. This will be the first time the Greater Shepparton region plays host to this event, which takes place in Victoria only once every eight years.
The rally promises a unique spectacle for car enthusiasts, showcasing over 100 iconic Morris vehicles produced between 1913 and the late 1970s. Attendees will also get a chance to admire related vehicles, including MG, Riley, and Wolseley models, many of which have never been seen in Shepparton before.
The event will kick off with an opening ceremony at the Parklake Shepparton, followed by a grand drive to Tatura and a signature touring day via Dookie along the Art Silo Trail. The major public display will take place at the John Pick Playground, Victoria Park Lake, on April 27, where attendees can judge the “People’s Choice”.
Greater Shepparton City Council mayor, Councillor Shane Sali, expressed his enthusiasm, “We are extremely honoured to host the 2024 National Rally. It will give our region a great economic boost and provides an opportunity to see some amazing historic cars.”
