History
In 1963 Nambour citizens Ian Hayne and David Sharpe conceived the idea of a local antique car club for the purposes of the restoration and preservation of ‘old faithfuls’ of by-gone days. A meeting was held on 19 February 1963 at Bert Skinner’s Garage and the “Antique Car Club of Nambour” was born.
Restoration was the main interest to members. In April 1964 Mick Hayes’ 1912 Buick became the Club’s first car to be fully restored. The first public appearance in Nambour for the Club’s cars was in taking part in the Warana Festival procession on 26 September 1964. The first Club rally was to Alexandra Headland on 3 September 1964. The Club was subsequently renamed the Sunshine Coast Antique Car Club.

Clubhouse
The Club has a dedicated Clubhouse within the Nambour showgrounds. It is located next to the Nambour Badminton Club building. To find the clubhouse, enter the showgrounds via the main entrance off Coronation Ave, turn left immediately inside the main gate then turn immediately left again and drive up the incline to the Clubhouse. The Clubhouse is the departure point for most Club rallies. The Clubhouse also houses an extensive paper library of mechanical publications, automobile magazines and related paraphernalia.
