Corvettes Unlimited Car CLub Of NSW

Formed in 1980 by two cousins Mr Maurie Mouyat & Joe Maite who met up with Mr Nick Kidson, while discussing corvettes they decided to get together & go for a cruise, not long after they meet other corvette owners with the same passion & decided to form a social club calling it NSW corvettes unlimited. In 1982 they agreed to form a constitution & named it New South Wales Corvettes unlimited car club.

At that time they had about 50 members the first committee comprised of Mr Les Teefy, Mr Jim Roley, Mr Steve Busittil, Brian & Betty Densley & Mr Owen Yates. Mr Les Teefy was the first president, and the printing of the first magazine was done at Brian & Betty Densley house, then photocopied & posted. Our logo was designed by Mr Maurie Mouyat in 1982 which we still use today.

In 1983 a member by the name of Mr Frank Rejtano became the next president hosting our first convention in NSW in 1989 at El Cabalo Blanco near Liverpool. our second hosting of a convention was in 1992 being held at the fire museum at Penrith.

Then came our longest serving president Mr Steve Brown who took over the running of the club in 1992 with about 54 members. The first run that he organized was a southern comfort promotion to give away a 1960 corvette he tells me he thought he would get about 6 cars turning up. To his surprise 36 turned up on a Wednesday morning at 7.30am, over steve's reign as president from 1992 to 2000 he steered our club to about 250 members with social outings once a month increasing the awarenes of the corvette in NSW our club owes so much to Steve for the dedication & commitment he has shown to corvettes in Australia . Steve decided to stand down as president after the 2000 convention in Sydney which had over 150 corvettes entered what a great way to finish 8 years as president.

Then our next president was Mr Peter Ellsmore who started as the editor for over 5 years producing a very informative magazine & has been followed on by Mr Bob Boes & now Mr John Mafrici.

Then onto our latest president Mr Garry McLaughlin who has been a member for the last 5 years & president for the past 2 years our committee has now grown to having an 18 member committee.
