Show N Shine Melbourne 2025
Our Show N Shine caters to everyone’s tastes. Categories suitable for the practical and the hardened off-road rigs. The competitive feature at the National 4x4 Outdoors Show allows members of the off-road community to showcase their beasts to peers, and the public alike.
This competition will inspire you to go above and beyond, fill you with ideas and provide guidance for your own 4x4 upgrades. It’s not all about the rigs though, meet the car owners and listen to stories of their adventures, build experiences and lessons learned. Become part of our community and you’ll never look back.
Competition Categories:
- Vintage Classics - Pre - 1990 - Classic 4WDs, authenticity, originality and mechanical condition
- Next-Gen Beasts - Post - 2020 - brand-new, elite 4WD builds that push boundaries, show quality presentation, no expense spared, originality and exceptional craftmanship

- Terrific Tourer - focus is on off grid capability, towing loads, fuel efficiency, originality and long haul reliability
