MOVE board director Adam Katsoutas expressed excitement for the event, emphasising its role in bringing families and enthusiasts together while supporting the museum’s mission.

“As an independent, not for profit entity, MOVE relies on events like Melbourne to MOVE to raise funds and awareness of our museum,” Mr Katsoutas said, adding, “The event will show an impressive lineup of vehicles and support our mission to celebrate and preserve automotive history.”

The rally begins at CMV Truck and Bus dealership in Derrimut, where participants will be treated to a tour of the facility before beginning the journey through Victoria’s countryside. The rally stops in Tooborac and Toolamba, where participants will enjoy lunch by The Little Gourmet Food Company before reaching the festival at MOVE.

There’s still time to enter the rally. Tickets are $180 for a car and driver, with additional passengers at $40 each. Visit www.moveshepparton.com.au for more information or to book.
