HISTORISCHE MACHINECLUB KEMPEN VZW

The Historical Machine Club Kempen (HMCK VZW) is an association for lovers of old machines based in Ravels, Belgium. Mainly old agricultural tractors and stationary engines are collected, but lovers of old trucks and military vehicles also feel at home.

The association was founded in 1988 in Ravels from a circle of friends of collectors of old agricultural vehicles and equipment who wanted to show their collection to the public. From this circle grew an annual show, later renamed 'Oldtimer Festival', and the circle of friends became a real association. It now has more than 800 members, both Flemish and Dutch.

The club organises regular events such as a swap meet and a members' party, as well as the annual Oldtimer Festival in Ravels or Weelde.
