Heritage Truck Association Australia



By John Dodd

The Heritage Truck Association Australia (HTAA) is a club whose members are interested in old vehicles including commercial vehicles. HTAA was formed in 2002 with membership open to anyone with an interest in “Keeping the Old Wheels Turning”.  


HTAA Objectives
  • Encourage the restoration and preservation of trucks over 30 years old.
  • Foster friendship and information sharing through participation in rallies, exhibitions and other events. 
  • Assist members in locating parts, services and information and history about their vehicle.
  • Encourage retention of heritage trucks and memorabilia in Australia.
  • Stimulate and build community interest in the importance of heritage trucks and memorabilia.  
      
Activities 
The club has a busy calendar with monthly business meetings and holding an annual show in May. There are also events that the members attend on a regular basis ie local and district shows, events hosted by other like minded clubs, vintage machinery clubs and alike. These events give the opportunity to show your vehicle and share our interest, support other groups in the community, renew friendships and make new ones. Many events are regular annual attendances.

As a member 
Members enjoy a range of benefits ranging from the Queensland Government SIV’s Registration Scheme, the enormous knowledge and experience in the club,  the enjoyment of events and fellowship within the club. Each member has the opportunity to present their vehicle in a way that suits them whether it is all blinged up with chrome and paint or original with its working clothes on, or somewhere in between. The HTAA website (heritagetruckassociation.com.au) gives a snapshot of the club and provides a list of contacts.
