The club was formed as the South Coast Holden Owners Club on the 28th of January, 2002, by a group of friends who had a passion for the Holden motor car. At the time most members only owned Holden's and the club prospered as a single make club. As the club expanded the focus was changed to accommodate all GM vehicles, this enabled current members who owned Holden's and other vehicles such as Chevr
olets and Buicks to fully enjoy the club. In 2012 and 2013 the club undertook measures to ensure its future growth. As a result the South Coast Holden Owners club became the Classic Car Club Illawarra, The club registration scheme was amended to include all vehicles that are eligible for Historic registration in NSW. In 2013 the club welcomed our first non GM vehicles, a Toyota and an XW Falcon into the fold. With the imminent death of motor vehicle manufacturing in Australia, regardless of where your brand allegiance lie, it is now more important than ever that the history of Australian motoring be preserved into the future. The Classic Car Club Illawarra is proud to support the preservation, restoration and most importantly driving and enjoying of all currently recognised historic vehicles and also current models that are destined to become the classics of the next generation.
