We are different to many other automotive groups in that the club itself owns a fleet of 24 heritage buses which its voluntary members maintain and preserve for the benefit of future generations.
One of our biggest challenges with operating buses are the recurring costs involved – such as registration, insurance, fuel and necessary refurbishments and repairs.

What we can do with your support
Between March 2018 and April 2019, Bus 722 was extensively restored back to original condition in anticipation of the 50th birthday and anniversary of Brisbane’s tramway closure. Thanks to the generousity of our members and supporters, the club spent up to $100,000 on a complete interior and exterior refurbishment to return the vehicle back into service after 10 years off the road. |
