The 2025 Famous Point Nepean Heritage Motor Show rolled into the historic Point Nepean Quarantine Station with show-stopping style, blessed by flawless sunshine that turned the entire precinct into a postcard-worthy celebration of automotive culture. For car lovers, collectors, and horsepower hunters, it was a day where chrome sparkled, engines echoed, and automotive passion took center stage on Victoria’s spectacular coastline.
More than just a feast for enthusiasts, this event continues its powerful community impact. Funds raised are proudly directed to Southern Peninsula Community Support and their SPLaSH Program, which provides crucial assistance to individuals experiencing homelessness across the Mornington Peninsula. Every polished bonnet and roaring exhaust contributed to a meaningful cause.
This year’s show once again celebrated the full spectrum of automotive greatness—classic cars, modern icons, modified masterpieces, rare collectibles, and everything in between.
Visitors were treated to an incredible variety:
- Pristine legends from heritage clubs including Triumph, Sunbeam and Jaguar
- A uniquely showcased Bentley courtesy of Lindsay Fox Collection
- A crowd-pleasing 3-wheel Morgan that drew endless attention
- Beach-ready Manx Buggy’s
- ‘Eleanor’ Mustang recreation worthy of Nicholas Cage in Gone in 60 Seconds
- Australian icons such as the Bolwell Nagari, Holden Commodores, Monaro’s to Panel Vans
- Other crowd pleasers from Ferrari Testarossa to Mini Coopers, immaculate Rover SD1 to BMW Z3 M Roadster
From vintage craftsmanship to modern muscle, the show was a rolling museum of automotive history and innovation.
