2024 marks the 27th edition of the George Old Car Show. The event will feature a remarkable display of eight original Mercedes-Benz 300SL sports cars, making it the largest gathering of these iconic vehicles in South Africa.

The Mercedes-Benz 300SL has a rich motorsport heritage dating back to 1954. This model originates from the Stuttgart-based manufacturer in international motor racing.

The 300SL was groundbreaking in terms of engineering, with the first petrol injection engine, a 3 liter camshaft and a dry-sump lubrication system.

Top speeds range from 235 to 263 km per hour. It also held the title of the fastest production car in the mid-1950s.

Book for the George Old Car Show via iTickets. For owners wishing to exhibit pre-1985 vehicles, pre-registration is recommended.

On Auction: A Riverfront Country Estate Where Art, Architecture & Nature Live in Harmony

Tucked within the exclusive Korhaan River Estate, where fewer than 30 families share in the quiet luxury of open skies, river breeze and uninterrupted privacy, this remarkable property brings country living to life with elegance, intention, and a touch of soul.

Set along the gentle Leeuspruit River — just a short flow from the mighty Vaal — the estate unfolds across 70,500m² of manicured grounds, three shimmering dams, and sweeping lawns made for unhurried afternoons. It’s the kind of setting where mornings begin with birdsong and evenings settle beneath a canopy of stars — whether as a permanent sanctuary or a sophisticated weekend retreat from city rush.
