Our History
The Fiat Owners Club began in 1957 when around 40 people responded to an invitation from Fiat dealer Devon Motors to form a club dedicated to supporting Fiat owners in Victoria and building a strong social community around the marque.
More than sixty years later, the Fiat Car Club of Victoria remains the oldest Italian marque club in Victoria and one of the largest Fiat clubs in Australia.
With around 500 members each year, the club brings together Fiat enthusiasts through monthly meetings, motorsport events, car displays, cruises, and social activities celebrating Fiats from 1910 through to current models.
Members stay informed through our magazine, regular club updates, Facebook page, and website, while our committee continues to work hard to create opportunities for members to enjoy their cars and connect with the wider Fiat community.
We look forward to welcoming you to an event and sharing our passion for all things Fiat.
