Killarney Valley Classic and Vintage Club has announced a busy line-up of summer shows.
First up is the ever-popular Classic and Vintage show in Killarney Racecourse on July 9.
This is one of the club’s flagship events and this year it will celebrate all things Land Rover.
“This show is growing year in year and is very popular in the vintage Scene,” said club secretary Richard O’Donoghue.
“This year’s show works in with the current raffle of our 1979 Land Rover. There will also be a charity car auction on the day and we will be announcing more details next week.”
A week later the club will run the classic car element of the Ballyfinnane Festival of Speed.
The July 16 event will celebrate 120 years of closed road motorsport in County Kerry.
“This is something very special and the club are proud to be associated with Kerry Motor Club as part of the hillclimb event. There will be a huge show open to cars, jeeps, motorbikes which are 20 years and older and rally cars will be on display along with music and refreshments,” said club secretary Richard O’Donoghue.
Classic car access to this is strictly via Farmers Bridge only – all other approach roads to Ballyfinnane will be closed to facilitate the running of the event.
“We are delighted to be part of this Festival of speed which is sure to be a great weekend”
The clubs annual autumn show – also at Killarney Racecourse – is scheduled for September 10 and is open to all Classic, Vintage, modern and modified cars, jeeps and motorbikes.
“There are a few surprises in store for this show,” added the secretary.
