Drive-It Day 2015 – Sunday 26th April. – CANCELLED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER

fbhvc[1]
As part of this annual national event launched and publicised by The Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs (FBHVC), it commemorates the 64 cars that left London on a 1000 mile trial in April 1900.  The Association in Gibraltar has also kept up with this tradition for many years.
Drive IT Day encourages owners of all vehicles 25 years old or older, two, three or four wheels out onto the roads for the day.
Drivers and passengers of such vehicles arriving at our clubhouse in Windmill Hill  for about 10.30am for a coffee or light refreshment.  Coffee and water are free but any other needs to be paid for.  At about 11.30 we shall leave Windmill Hill and drive around Gibraltar for about an hour or so.  We shall then go to Ocean Village and display our vehicles on the promenade whilst we have some lunch.   We decided to go to the newly opened Restaurant, The Ocean, for a selection of tapas for lunch. Problem is we need to know who is coming so we can reserve spaces so please get in touch if you wish to attend the lunch.

2015 Rally application forms now available!

Attached are this year’s entry forms for our Rally in May.  This is the one event in the year that we ask all our members to participate.  It is extremely important for the Association that we put on a good show and exhibit maximum number of Vehicles. Please remember that by Vehicles we also mean motorcycles.  We expect many visiting clubs and individuals to participate this year and by showing your vehicle off at the Rally we show others what a wonderful wealth of Vehicles we have in Gibraltar.Non Members: GCVA Entry form 2015 non members

What a fantastic day it has been. Over 40 vehicles on display. Massive crowds with many people showing their interest in the vehicles on display by asking many questions. We also welcome all our friends from across the border who joined us today. Lets hope that this is the first of many such days. All in all a fantastic day out. A great pity that not all the members turned up so guys and girls how about turning up at our next display next year.
