Our Committee

Founder

Travis Sturk-Ralls

I have been a passionate automotive enthusiast for as long as I can remember. Having owned and built many vehicles over the years, I appreciate all types of cars, trucks, bikes, tractors etc. I love the stories behind them, and the adventures we have with them. I endeavored to create a group that is open to all who are eligible for C4C concessional licensing, and this has allowed us to celebrate our connection with vehicles of all types and connections with each other in our AEF family.

President

Jason

Hi, I'm Jason, owner of a few cars now. An old classic Xy Fairmont, nice little golf GTi and a new passion, Eb falcon track car.

I'd like to say welcome to AEF.

After meeting Travis at the Busselton cars and coffee meets a few years ago, I joined the group and acquired the C4C rego for all of my cars. We have since been on a few cruises.

AEF is an easy going bunch, we hold the cars and coffee on the first Sunday of each month. Great time to see a whole range of cars and everyone is up for a chat.

We welcome anyone new to the scene or older car owners who can benefit from membership or who just want to be a part of a car enthusiasts group of people.

See you out and about.

Treasurer

Ian

Hi all. My name is Ian Sheppard. AKA (Sheppy). I have been passionate about motor vehicles and motorsport since I was a lad more than half a century ago. I love all genres of cars, bikes and basically anything noisy, greasy and cool .. I love Vintage, Custom, Resto and race machines of all era’s. My interest started as a young bloke when I started building and racing open wheel Autograss specials in the UK in the late 70’s early 80’s. This culminated in the creation of my track based Ford GT40.

These days I race far less and focus more on car builds. Mostly from scratch.. I currently have several projects on the go including my 1937 Mercedes Silver arrows tribute W125, a restored 1956 caravan and several post war replicas/customs. I am honored to be part of the AEF and cars and coffee committee and enjoy getting out most months meeting our incredibly talented and passionate members. And of course, drooling over their beautiful machines…

As a family we've a couple of cars on the C4C and choose Auto Enthusiasts Federation because it's easy, cheap and a great group of people. I've popped my hand up to help with admin assisting the team to keep this little club on a roll and all the members can benefit!

Growing up with a dad who is extremely passionate about all kinds of vehicles, I have always been surrounded by old cars. It has been fantastic to facilitate the shared enthusiasm for vehicles through administration at AEF, and I am excited to see how our AEF family grows.

Welcome Ron and Sandra to the AEF family.

Ron’s Torana story began in 1973 when he bought a green XU1 while dating Sandra. Years later, after he wisely chose to keep the wife, Sandra surprised him for his 50th birthday with a run-down XU1 from NSW. After restoration, it became the stunning replica he proudly owns today.
