Alewijn Dippenaar, chairperson of the George Old Car Show, said the theme for next year’s show will be “The Southern Cape Old Car Club”.
With the Covid pandemic casting a shadow of uncertainty over all planned events, the organisers have backup plans in case the Old Car Show cannot be held in February. If necessary, it can be moved to April, and if it is not possible to have spectators or visitors, a big private party will be held for owners of veteran vehicles.
