Previously known as the Classic and Historical Automobile Club of Monaro Region, the “Cooma Car Club” was officially incorporated as The Cooma Monaro Historic Automobile Club Inc ( a non-profit organization) on 8 March 2002.
The club was formed with the principal objective of bringing together persons with a common interest to encourage the use, maintenance and presentation of motor vehicles without prejudice to make, model, method of manufacture or country, and other vehicles of interest that are at least 30 years old. The principal is strongly observed today.
The club is purely social in nature and actively supports the local community by donations to various charities.
Approximately 80 members from the southern Monaro area actively support a wide range of regular monthly club events and combine to host two major events, the Snowy Mountains Classic Tour and the Cooma Motorfest on an alternating yearly basis.
This year, the club proudly hosted its 5th Cooma Motorfest at the Cooma Showground on 10 November 2007 in support of the Monaro Committee for Cancer Research. Motorfest 2007 attracted some 380 displays across all classes and a magnificent day’s entertainment was had by participants and some 4000 spectators alike.
The club will now turn its attention to next year's event, which will be held in November, and will be a Classic Vehicle Tour of the Snowy Mountains and surrounding area.
