ROLLS-ROYCE AND BENTLEY CROWN A BEST OF BRITISH THEME FOR THE 2025 GEORGE OLD CAR SHOW ON FEBRUARY 8, 2025
The George Old Car Show on February 8, 2025, will feature a special celebration of British automotive royalty, highlighting Rolls-Royce and Bentley. These iconic brands, representing the pinnacle of luxury and performance, will be showcased alongside other British classics. Rolls-Royce, known as “the best car in the world” since its 1907 debut, and Bentley, founded in 1921 and famed for its Le Mans victories, will take center stage. South Africa has had a long history with both marques, with Rolls-Royce’s presence in the country dating back to 1910.
The show, now a one-day event, will run from 9 am to 6 pm due to reduced Sunday attendance in previous years. In addition to Rolls-Royce and Bentley, the event will celebrate other British cars such as Austin, MG, Jaguar, and Lotus. These marques have had a significant presence in South Africa, with models like the Austin 7, Morris Minor, MG MGB, and Jaguar E-Type among the most popular with collectors.
Up to 1,000 vehicles from around the world will be on display, including classic cars, motorcycles, tractors, and supercars. The show will also feature a post-event tour of the Southern Cape region. Tickets will be available for pre-booking at R125 for adults. This year’s event promises to be a spectacular gathering of automotive enthusiasts, with Rolls-Royce and Bentley as the undisputed stars.
