Motors & Masterpieces to replace Motorclassica
All-new auto show to rise from the ashes of Motorclassica in Melbourne this NovemberMotorclassica may be dead as we know it, but the team behind the iconic and high-profile classic car show will deliver an all-new experience this year: Motors & Masterpieces.
Scheduled for November 22-24 at the Melbourne Showgrounds, the new show is a celebration of the greatest engineering and design achievements of the automotive world, from the industry’s origins right up to the present and beyond.
More than 300 concours-condition vehicles – cars and motorcycles – will be displayed across six distinctly themed precincts, each reflecting a key evolutionary stage, era or milestone of vehicle design and innovation.
This core pillar of the event will be supported by hundreds of other display vehicles scattered throughout the showgrounds.
Vehicle owners looking to take part in the show can either display their pride and joy for free or enter it into the concours competition, where it will be expertly and carefully judged by a panel of experts to vie for the coveted Best of Show honours.
Another feature of the event will be the Motors & Masterpieces Art and Photography Prizes, in which established and budding photographers can show off their work to thousands of appreciative motoring fans and even be awarded for it.
“Motorcars, motorcycles and commercial vehicles are one of the major technical innovations of all time, redefining societies all over the world, including how we live, work and play,” said chief curator Mark Jansen.
“In addition to its utility value, the motorcar has also become an outlet for artistic expression and an enabler of cultural movements, from the streets of London or Milan to the beaches of Southern California; it is a symbol of civilisation.
“Through Motors & Masterpieces, we will tell this story with some of the most desirable vehicles ever gathered in Australia, with the entire festival promising to be a highlight of our motoring calendar.
“Our aim is to give automotive lovers a truly unique opportunity to see an outstanding collection of vehicles in one location, with each example a true masterpiece.”
