Cobh Classic Car Vintage Display – Sunday 10th May

2015 marks the 100th anniversary of the sinking of RMS Lusitania by a German U-boat off the Old Head of Kinsale. Cobh will commemorate the sinking with a series of events in and around the town. The events will take place from 7th to 10th May.

As part of the Commemoration, Cobh Classic Car Club will present a selection of Vintage Cars ranging from early 1900’s up to 1930’s and 40’s. The collection will include Ford Model T’s, Roll Royce, Fiat, Austin, MG?s, and Riley amongst others.

These beautifully maintained cars rarely see the light of day as they are stored in clean dry conditions in order to preserve them for present and future generations to enjoy. The commemoration of the Lusitania sinking seems a fitting occasion to bring these 1900’s cars to Cobh as a mark of respect for those lost on that day in 1915.

The collection of cars will be on display on Sunday 10th in Cobh from 11am till 3pm.
