Shannons Expands Targa Support

SYDNEY – Dec 27, 2012: Shannons has expanded its support of Australian tarmac rallying for 2013 to include all four Australian Targa Championship events operated by Octagon Australia – Targa Wrest Point, Targa Tasmania, Targa High Country and Classic Targa Adelaide.

This takes the number of motoring enthusiast events supported by Shannons Australia-wide each year to more than 800.

Shannons was a founding supporter of Targa Tasmania back in 1992 and has maintained a high profile connection with the event and many participants ever since – sharing the vision of Mark Perry and his team at Octagon Australia in developing the event to world’s best practice.

It is through this on-going contact with fellow enthusiasts that Shannons has honed and developed its motor vehicle insurance, introducing industry-leading ideas like agreed value cover, monthly repayments, choice of repairer, plus low-priced club plate, limited use and laid-up cover.

This has now extended to include Motorcycle Insurance and Home and Contents cover, including Enthusiast Cover protecting the special items in your garage.

Shannons quarterly classic vehicle auctions in New South Wales and Victoria have also grown over the past 30 years to become the major public forum where interesting and collectable vehicles are bought and sold –many of them destined for a new life in Tarmac Rallying!

The latest Shannons innovation is the Shannons Club – Australia’s newest online motoring community.

There, as an enthusiast, you can upload and share photos and videos of your current and past cars and bikes, connect with other enthusiasts’ clubs and keep up to date with all the latest automotive news and motoring events around Australia.
