TCCAV does not and cannot determine the value of vehicles. If you need an appraiser, you may wish to consult with a recognised, qualified expert or conduct your own market research if an official valuation is required for insurance or sales. |

| How can I volunteer or get more involved in running events? | We are an entirely volunteer-run club! Contact any committee member at a Club Night or email the Secretary. We are always looking for help at events like Classic Japan, Sakura Picnic, and Motorkhanas. We also have awards for outstanding volunteers (e.g., Spirit of TCCAV Award). |
| How do I nominate a car for a display/feature at a TCCAV club display day? | Club displays at events such as the Australian Grand Prix, VHRR, Hanging Rock and Geelong Revival. As these are often curated displays, they are available to financial members only. Join the club to be part of these opportunities. |
