The Vintage Sports Car Club of
Calgary is a group of over 150 people
who are enthusiastic about vintage sports cars. Most of our cars are
post war sporting classics such as Austin-Healey, Jaguar, MG, Morgan
and Triumph. We also count owners of more exotic machinery among our
ranks including Alfa, Lamborghini, Porsche, Ford GT. The age of club
vehicles range from the 1930's through to 2006.
Sizes cover the field from a Rolls Royce to a Geo Metro. (The owner
claims the initials for a Geo Metro are only an MG going the other
way!)
From September to April we hold
general meetings on the second Wednesday of the month. Our location is
the
Austrian Canadian Cultural Centre,
3112 -11th Street N.E.,
Calgary, Alberta.
The meeting pattern is generally:-
During the summer months our business meetings are kept as short as possible and we often have an evening drive in lieu of entertainment, weather permitting.
In the months when it is reasonable to drive a sports car in Calgary, even if not with the top down, we enjoy rallies, planned drives and social events. A particular feature of our club is "drive-to-eat" events where we drive to restaurants or picnic sites.
Discounts are offered to members on parts and services by several sports car supply and service shops.
Appraisals by our qualified members are accepted for vintage vehicle insurance. This coverage is available for older cars but requires car club membership to be eligible.
As a member of the Specialty
Vehicles Association of Alberta
(formerly AAACS) (and by affiliation with the National Association of
Antique Automobile Clubs of Canada), the VSCCC is active in lobbying
governments for the protection of auto-hobby related aspects.
Our Safety Check form is at Safety Check Form.
