Where you can meet some fellow enthusiasts and show off your loved one(s) - that's your Dutton(s). This page will be constantly updated as more information is received on shows, and we will try to ensure it is up to date, and advise you check with show organisers before you set out. For each show the organisers name is given and their contact details can be found at the bottom of the show listing. We will try to ensure the DOC is represented at the larger shows and a few of the smaller ones if we can get space for the club tent, but this depends on who is going with regard transporting the tent etc.

To see pictures of some of the Duttons and a few owners at previous shows and events have a look at the links at the bottom of this page.

Show reviews

Below are links to pictorial reviews of some of the shows from this and previous years. Not all the shows are here because the 'DOC photographer' (i.e. Piers) doesn't go to them all and hardly anyone sends him photos of the cars there or can get round to learning the intricacies of dpi etc as to what is required for digital photos. Not that he's bitter or anything...
