Motorclassica
Motorclassica takes place Oct 2026 (unconfirmed - verify directly with the organiser before booking) in Melbourne, Australia. The dress code is Smart-casual to smart; it is a concours in a grand heritage hall and many visitors dress for it, with preview and gala evenings dressier again. Typical cost ranges from 60 to 300 EUR per person.
Australasia's leading indoor concours and classic motor show, staged under the dome of Melbourne's Royal Exhibition Building with the Australian International Concours d'Elegance at its centre. Rare cars and motorcycles share the hall with specialist dealers and restorers. The venue is a large part of the appeal, and the show has had an interrupted recent history, so its status is worth checking each year.

How to attend
Day tickets are normally sold online through the official site in the region of AUD 45 to 60, with preview evening and VIP packages above that, and it is open to the public. Confirm the current edition's dates and status directly with the organiser before booking travel - the official website has been unreliable and the event has previously paused. The venue is a short tram ride from the Melbourne CBD.
The official Motorclassica website no longer loads and no new edition has been announced, so there is nothing to book.
Insider tip
The Royal Exhibition Building is UNESCO-listed and worth the ticket on its own - the light coming through the dome onto the concours cars in the late afternoon is what everyone comes away with.
