Our Legacy Lives On

After 9 incredible years (2014-2022) bringing Melbourne's car community together, Custom Cars & Coffee Melbourne has officially retired. We're proud of the 25+ events, thousands of attendees, charities supported, and friendships fostered across venues like Sandown, Caribbean Gardens, and Phillip Island.

Thank You Melbourne

To every car owner who displayed their pride and joy at Sandown, Caribbean Gardens, Knox, Eltham, and Phillip Island. To every family who joined us for Sunday morning coffee and community spirit. To every volunteer who helped make each event happen, and every charity partner including Anglicare Victoria, CFA, Knox Rotary, and Drive Against Depression who trusted us with their cause - thank you.

From our humble first event with 9 attendees to our peak events with over 2,600 participants, you made Custom Cars & Coffee Melbourne a true community success story.
