Four-hundred cars and motorcycles will be on display, all turned out in their finest fettle. Last year the show drew some 8 000 spectators and the Garden Route Motor Club, in association with Sanlam Private Wealth, is expecting an even bigger attendance this year.

Something for everyone
"The wonderful thing about this show is that it caters for everyone’s motorised tastes. The cars range from the mega-expensive to affordable, as do the motorcycles. It ranges from the dawn of the motorised age to the techno marvels of today. But. each vehicle have been chosen because there is something about them that gives them a unique place in motoring history," says chief organiser Peter Pretorius.
"If it’s speed and glamour you are after, or an oddball motoring obscurity, the 2019 Knysna Motor Show is just the place for you. We guarantee that you will have your work cut-out to work your way through the entire display. And of course, if you need a break, wonderful food and drink stations will be on hand."
