The Bowden’s Own Sound Tour has been purpose-designed as the ultimate event for car lovers, who want to get a little bit more closer and personal to the collection.
 
This special event is a unique showcase of Australia’s greatest collection of racing and touring cars which are all still very alive and shown in a way never seen anywhere else in the world. Each selected car will be opened up from bonnet to boot on this more technical tour, culminating in the much anticipated running of the engines. Really, there is nothing much better than getting to see, hear and feel each of these mighty cars come to life....

 
This is the only place you will ever get to hear these machines roaring together under one roof!

A HINT OF WHAT YOUR IN FOR...

 

 

 

DID THAT GET YOU GOING?

Well it is nothing compared to being here in person, especially when experiencing it over 30 times within the space of a few hours! We also do special some features, like all the Group C cars running at one time and finally the Improved Production trio of Beechey's Monaro, Geoghegan's Super Falcon and Moffat's Mustang all running together, just like the race grid back in 1971... Neighbours really love that part of the day!

 

SOME REVIEWS FROM PREVIOUS YEARS

To Dan, Chris and David,

A big thank you once again for opening your shed doors for the Sound Tour. Too many highlights to single out, but the look on your face Dan when the Beechey Monaro fired into life was priceless. There was a similar look on Morts face when the '79 A9X was started. The work you guys have done over the years to assemble and preserve the machinery from that era of Australian Motorsport goes without saying. Excellent work.

This was my 3rd day at your residence and I never tire of it. Good to see the French XY. A car I didn't know you had.

To future patrons of the Sound Tour, look out, you are in for a real treat. Thanks again guys.

Hi to all Bowden’s,
 
My wife and I would like to congratulate you on your first ever Sound Tour in October. Not only did all the cars live up to expectations but in many cases exceeded them. For many people like myself who could not possibly afford to own such a piece of Australian history, just to be able to get up close was a dream come true. But to go one better and hear them in their full glory, and the sound reverberating throughout the building, sent me into a cold sweat.

It was such a pleasure to hear Mr Bowden relive some of his past and take us on his own personal journey through his highs and lows. All of us who still live the dream owe him unmeasurably for his efforts and undying love of such classic vehicles, and to let others joint him in his love.

I cannot thank every one who was involved in bringing this event together enough. Without such people as the Bowden family these vehicles would just be a thing of the past and lost in time. Again well done and I hope to be able to return one day and relive the dream,
 
Thank you,

Garry.






Dear Dan,
What an amazing fun filled day!
Having attended your original open day, and now having the opportunity of going to the inaugural Sound Tour was just fantastic.
I took my elder brother, Harry, along for his 60th birthday gift, which is not until next January.  It was a surprise to him and what a surprise he received as he had seen the Moffat Mustang and Beachy's Monaro race at Lakeside (he thinks he can remember that far back).
At times he was lost for words.  We both really enjoyed the experience and as for the noise of all those engines revving, it was music to our ears. 
We would like to thank you and your family, especially your Dad, for allowing us to view and hear what must be the best collection of muscle cars there is.
The day was perfect as it was.
Regards,
David




Hi Dan and crew,

My friends and I had a great time and enjoyed the tour. We had silly grins from the noise for the rest of the day, so big thumbs up.

Finally it was good to see Dave, he sure tells a good yarn.

Kind regards

Michael

and thanks for a great day.
