From the inauspicious early days of meetings at members' homes and the boat sheds on the banks of the Yana River, to the present Gatehouse premises in Parkville, the VSCC of Victoria has been on important part of members' and their families' lives as both an outlet for their interest in vintage sports cars and as a forum for friendship and social events.
