About

A brief look back at our club shows that a small group of local old car enthusiasts got together in February 1983 and decided to form a club. The word was spread around town and in March of that year 25 folk held the inaugural meeting and named the club "Lithgow Vintage Motor Club", they chose the name "Running Board Rag" for the club's newsletter.

By the end of 1983 membership had grown to 38 and the club had received RTA approval and was operating on the "Club Plate" conditional registration scheme. The club became an Incorporated Association in November 1986.

In the early days member's vehicles were mainly of pre-World War 2 era, however over the past years and via the various past iterations of the now Transport for New South Wales club approval policies, our club vehicle registrar currently has 118 cars and 15 motorcycles of various ages up to the 30-year-old limit registered on the Historic Vehicle Scheme.

Even though the club has approval to register vehicles on the Classic Vehicle Scheme we currently don't have any vehicles registered on this scheme at present.

The club is affiliated with two of the NSW peak bodies, The Council of Heritage Motor Clubs and The Council of Motor Clubs.

Over the years our club has established a very strong social atmosphere and along with the enthusiasm for heritage motoring it has seen membership grow to 120 members enjoying the monthly meetings, midweek lunch runs, weekend outings, long tours and participation in events organised by other clubs.
