MAKING its debut on April 22, the Melbourne to MOVE rally is set to become a must-do annual event every motor enthusiast. In its first year, the event drew a diverse mix of around 50 classic and modern cars, motorbikes trucks and buses.
As proud sponsors of the world-class Museum of Vehicle Evolution (MOVE), it was extremely fitting that the rally began at CMW Truck & Bus’s state-of-the-art Derrimut Dealership. From the starting line after breakfast, around 50 cars in a convoy travelled through the scenic countryside, travelling north to Nagambie and stopping for lunch along the banks of the Goldburn River at a beautiful private estate at Toolamba.
During the final leg of the rally, drivers arrived in Shepparton and drove proudly through the finish arch at MOVE before joining in the celebrations at the Finishline Festival. CMV Truck & Bus displayed three historic prime movers and the CMV Jim Crawford Historic Vehicle Collection showcased a 1961 Commer T53, a Volvo S16 and a 1972 Volvo G88.
The event was in support of MOVE, an independent not-for-profit museum, and future generations to enjoy the museum that celebrates legends of the transport industry. The Melbourne to MOVE rally will become a key event on the Victorian motoring calendar.
Organisers said it was fantastic to have a collection of show worthy vehicles from across the decades, with the oldest car participating being a 1921 Bentley.
The date for next years’ Melbourne to MOVE rally will be announced in coming weeks. Follow MOVE on social media for alerts. MOVE is open Monday to Sunday 10am to 4pm. For more information go to moveshepparton.com.au or phone 5823 5833.
