The Club

The Capri Club of Queensland Inc was formed in 1995 to cater for growing demand by Queensland enthusiasts for a club to preserve and enjoy these vehicles. The primary aim of the club is to provide club owners with a source of information with regard to the care and maintenance, as well as fellowship through interesting social gatherings, organised events and monthly club meetings.
