Range Rover Club - Victoria

An evening has been arranged with Penrite Oil Company to be amongst one of Australia’s most prestigious private collections of classic racing cars.

Enjoy a half hour presentation on the collections past, present and future by one of Team Penrites most successful race drivers, Penrite employee for over 20 years and Motorsport Manager, Ken Bedggood.

On Monday, 31 May 2010, a group of dedicated heritage Land Rover owners and their supporters will set out from Bourke on a leisurely 9-day tour of the Australian Outback.

Following on from the success of the 60th at Cooma last year, LROC, the Range Rover Club and Four Wheel Drive NSW & ACT have joined forces. We have also been able to attract Land Rover as a major sponsor. So Expo this year should be bigger and better than ever.
