National Motoring Heritage Day (NMHD) 

Council supports, through its member clubs, National Motoring Heritage Day, held annually on the 3rd Sunday in May. Thousands of vehicles from the oldest veterans to the youngest collectable (30 years old) cars, trucks, buses, motorbikes and ex-service vehicles are proudly taken out on the roads to promote Australia's motoring heritage to the wider community. NMHD was first proposed by the Australian Historic Motoring Federation. NMHD demonstrates the strength and importance of Australia's historic motoring movement which has a massive input into the economy through the operation and maintenance of hundreds of thousands of historic vehicles, and the economic benefits that flow on to many businesses supporting historic vehicles or where motoring events are hosted.
