An evening with the AOMC delegates
We were honoured to be invited to present at the May delegates meeting of the Association of Motoring Clubs (AOMC) — the peak body representing around 250 motoring clubs and 45,000 enthusiasts across Victoria. It was a genuine privilege to spend an evening with a room full of people who love cars as much as we do.
The presentation
Scott and I presented Electrifying Classic Cars — a talk covering why we started Revival, what's involved in a conversion, what it costs, and what the result actually feels like to drive. We tried to be honest about all of it: the complexity, the cost, the criticism we sometimes get at car shows, and the genuine joy of the end result.

The BMW on show
We brought the electric BMW 2002 along for delegates to see up close. That's always the moment things get interesting — people can read about an EV conversion, but standing next to the car, opening the bonnet, sitting in the seat, is something else entirely. The questions change and the conversations go deeper.
Wonderful conversations
The dinner gave us the chance to sit down with delegates from clubs right across Victoria and have the kind of unhurried conversations that a formal presentation doesn't always allow. We talked about specific cars, about what conversion might mean for different marques, about the certification process, about what owners actually experience day to day.
It's those conversations — with people who have decades of experience with cars — that sharpen our thinking and remind us why this work matters. Classic cars represent something irreplaceable in automotive history, and the clubs that steward that community are doing something important.
Thank you, AOMC
A sincere thank you to the AOMC for the invitation and the warm welcome. An opportunity to speak to delegates representing tens of thousands of Victorian motoring enthusiasts is not something we take lightly. We hope the evening was as useful and enjoyable for the room as it was for us.
If you're a club member or delegate who'd like to know more about EV conversions — for your own car or as a topic for your club — we'd love to hear from you. Get in touch.
