ABD 2022 Cancellation - Presidents letter
Enjoy one of SA's major motoring events
We are celebrating 37 years of the All British Day. It's a great day out for motoring enthusiasts and one of South Australia's premier motoring events. Some of the features include:
- Saloons, Sports Cars, Land Rovers, Motorcycles and Trucks
- Stationary Engine display
- Free parking
- Food and drink stalls
- Children's entertainment
HOT WEATHER POLICY....In the event of a catastrophic fire warning for the Echunga district or a forecast temperature for Mt Barker given by the Bureau of Meteorology as at 6.00pm the day before the event of 40 degrees or more, or the imposition by the Government of Covid 19 restrictions, the event will be cancelled. If the event is cancelled, sorry no entry fees will be refunded but memorabilia will be posted out.
2022... All British Day will feature 'British Working Wheels', 100 years of the Austin Seven, '60 years of the fabulous Jaguar E type, and 120 years of the British motorcycle icons that are Norton and Triumph!'
British vehicles have been used in Australia almost since the birth of the British motor industry. They have helped open up this vast country, and been depended on to help build some of Australia's biggest projects, like the Snowy Hydro Scheme. From the humble push bikes used to deliver the post, to police motorcycles, trucks, tractors, vans, utilities, company cars, and military vehicles. There are many British marques that can lay claim to being to being 'British Working Wheels!'
We look forward to hosting these themes in 2022.
All British Day will return to our event at Echunga in 2022 with 'Working Wheels' a celebration of the 60th year of the 'Jaguar E Type', 100 years of the Austin 7 and 120 years of Norton and Triumph motorcycles.

2022..........60 years ago a breathtaking sports car was launched at the Geneva Motor Show. The ground breaking E Type Jaguar was launched in 1961 and was produced until the mid-1970's, recieving a number of upgrades and improvements during its life span. The pretty lines of the E Type were a revelation at its launch, and the elegant cars still turn heads in the 21st century.
Join us as we celebrate the E Type at All British Day 2022.
2022........... This event will also be celebrating 100 years since the birth of the 'Austin 7'. A vehicle that changed the lives of ordinary people in the early twenties, when motoring on 4 wheels became accessible for the masses.
2022......... More than ever before at ABD 2022, as we also celebrate 120 years of Britains great motorcycle manufacturers, 'Norton' and 'Triumph'!
