Classic Japan

  • Bundoora Park 1069 Plenty Road Bundoora, Victoria Australia (map)

Classic Japan is an annual car & bike show, open to vehicles from all Japanese manufacturers that are at least 25 years old.

You won't find any egos or trophies here, just enthusiasts sharing their passion with respect.
