About us

The Italian Made Social Motoring Club, (I.M.S.M.C.) was established in February 2008 with a strong emphasis on family, friends and driving Italian motor cars to and from places of common interest.

The aim of our club is to maintain the presence and awareness of all classic, vintage, veteran and modern Italian motor cars as well as historic Italian motorbikes and scooters on Australian public roads.

On a regular basis the club organises activities including; city and country drives - static display days - fundraising - breakfast and lunch drives - concourse events - weekends away - picnics - restaurant and cafe dining - participation at Italian festivals.

As we are a social club, your friends and family are more than welcome to join us in all activities. The club holds public liability insurance which covers all financial members that participate in club events.

I.M.S.M.C. conforms to all current RMS legislation and is also recognised by the RMS to offer member / driver participation in the RMS's Historic Conditional Registration Scheme (HVS) and the Conditional Vehicle Scheme (CVS) for any modified classic Italian motor vehicle. The club also supports the RMS Logbook scheme.

A member must be the owner of an Italian motor car primarily, and can participate in the Historic Vehicle Scheme (HVS) and Conditional Vehicle Scheme (CVS), with their Italian motor car, motorbike or scooter. The onus of proof of vehicle age shall be with the applicant, however the final arbitrator shall be the club committee. Under HVS only “period modifications” are allowed. For non period modifications, members will be offered CVS, after obtaining a Blue Slip from an authorised engineer.
