Custom Vans Australia was formed in 2022, introducing the NSW State Van Titles and Custom Street Machine Show in 2023 and again in 2024, after the want for a NSW State based event was longed for by Vanners!

Our main goal was to put traditional show vans back in the spotlight, where they belong! Body Mods, Wild Engines, Big Wheels, Interiors you want to climb in the back of … a true step back in time to when Vanning was in its prime!

For those wanting a bit of recognition; our judging system was composed to provide a level playing field for ALL vans, based purely on the van itself and results drawn from a straightforward points-based system that rewards customisation and imagination.

Custom Vans Australia and its associated events are run wholly and solely by a down to earth, true car chick who has a shed full of custom V8 Holdens and has been instrumental and hands on in the build of a number of cars and vans at home, over the last decade or so … She not only has a huge passion for event management but also fell in love with the van scene over a decade ago and has wanted to give back, ever since, which led her to VANFEST.

We are proud to announce that in 2026, we raised the bar even more and pulled off THE BIGGEST INDOOR VAN SHOW that Australia has ever seen. A completely indoor event at the famous Tamworth Regional Entertainment and Conference Centre (TRECC).

And now, heading into our 5th year, we are excited to announce that in 2027 we are heading back to Tamworth!

You won’t want to miss this!
