Ford car owners arrived in Bathurst on May 5 and have based in Bathurst, but travelled to and from neighbouring towns and cities.
Rally coordinator Gary Fuller said there is plenty of history of Bathurst, one reason the rally came to the Central West.
“You've got Mount Panorama and the surrounding attractions like Millthorpe, Orange and Abercrombie House. The history out here is one reason behind coming out here,” Gary Fuller said.
“It’s a lovely area, absolutely beautiful. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming.”
Bathurst Hospital Auxiliary, CareFlight and Angel Flight are all local charities that the rally is sponsoring.
The rally, which is organised by the Anglia Prefect Car Club, will come to Abercrombie House on Saturday and McPhillamy Park on Sunday, with over 100 cars on display.
