Melbourne show moves to February

THE Melbourne International Motor Show will be held on February 9-19 next year to avoid a clash with the Commonwealth Games, which will be staged in Melbourne from March 15-26.

Brisbane has revised its dates as a result, running from March 3-12, and Adelaide will run from April 5-9.

While the countdown is on for the 2005 Australian International Motor Show in Sydney, starting on October 14, next year the Sydney event will be held from October 26 to November 5.
