Relive The Glory Days with WA Car Enthusiast Clubs

From classic and vintage cars, to brand new makes and models, these Western Australian car enthusiast clubs let you relive a great era of Australian motoring.

You’re out on the Perth roads one weekend and a wave of 20 classic cars cruise past you bumper to bumper, engines grunting, exhausts popping and suddenly your hit with a sense of nostalgia. You remember the first car your parents had owned as a child, the sensation of opening the door and smelling the leather interior for the first time, it’s a moment you’ll never forget.

Whether you’ve just bought a new or used car, nothing comes close to this moment as a kid, although I must admit, a new car smell is quite mesmerising. Thankfully, these car clubs in Perth refuse to let that feeling disappear and relive it on the daily.
