Every first Thursday at the Varsity in Atlanta.
There at least a thousand stories about how the Varsity Meet actually got started. It all just depends on who’s telling the story. Some would tell you that it started off as part of a biker rally more than 20 years ago. Others might tell you that a local Volkswagen club or websites like Si Atlanta started it and it grew from there. We are willing to bet that the Varsity Meet has been around just as long as the Varsity itself has—and each generation loves to lay its claim as to how it all started.

1958 Porsche 356 Speedster
The 1958 Porsche 356 Speedster marks the swan song of one of Porsche’s most iconic and minimalist models.

1948 Rover P3 Saloon
The 1948 Rover P3 Saloon marked a pivotal moment in the evolution of British motoring.
