So, the Pre-05 Pioneer event is done and dusted for another year. To finish off, a group of us are on a trip to the Mungo National Park for the day (by bus, not veteran).
Took the photo whilst we were on display yesterday in the Wentworth historic precinct. Dare I say - the 1904 Griffon Zedel, a shadow of its former self!

Some of Australia's oldest road-going vehicles are heading to Wentworth.

The 2026 RACV Pre-05 Pioneers Rally will bring 28 historic vehicles to the region, all built before 1905. Entrants will travel from Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania, creating one of the largest gatherings of pioneer vehicles in Australia.

Don't miss the opportunity to see these rare vehicles up close at Strother Park, Wentworth (home of Big Yabbie "Herbie") from 9:45am to 11:45am on Saturday 26 September.

Owners will be available to answer questions and share the stories behind their vehicles, helping preserve an important part of motoring history for future generations.

📷 Bring your camera and enjoy a unique look at automotive innovation from more than a century ago.

National Veteran Rally Day 2. Today's destination was Grenfell where many participants took the opportunity to visit the Chrysler Museum. Appropriately, the 3 Maxwell's on the Rally found the best parking spot out front of the museum. Left to Right is a 1917 Model 25, a 1912 Model ACV and the 1911 Model EA. Maxwell was absorbed into Chrysler when the Chrysler Corporation was established in 1925.

National Veteran Rally Day 2. How many kids can you fit in a 2 seat Delage? The answer is 4, or more correctly, the entire primary school population of Greenethorpe - where we stopped for morning tea!

The brains trust discussing tomorrow's routes. I notice the glasses are already empty!
