NEW DOCUMENTARY 7 PART SERIES – SHANNON’S DESIGN TO DRIVEWAY

Shannons are pleased to announce the release of a Seven Episode Documentary Series appearing on the Shannons Club website that celebrates the men and women who have designed our local cars for nearly a century. It is the one piece of our motoring history, that has largely remained untold.

Each episode is hosted by motoring journalist and artist Warren Brown who retraces the careers of each designer, whilst motor historian David Burrell from Shannons own RetroAutos, provides viewers with context during each episode.

The new series includes episodes featuring Australians leading car designers with the first two episodes LIVE on the Shannons Club.
