EnglishHow to Join the Old English Car Club (OECC) and What Membership Costs
Updated
Joining the Old English Car Club (OECC) is done through the club's online JOIN page, and the membership price listed on oecc.ca is $25. Membership is open to anyone enthusiastic about English cars — the club states its members aren't all English, aren't all old, and some don't even own English cars. If you're passionate about British motoring, you can sign up regardless of whether you currently own a vehicle.
What You're Joining
The OECC describes its mission as the preservation, restoration and enjoyment of English vehicles of all makes and models. The club reports a community of over 700 English car enthusiasts, with members across British Columbia, Alberta, Washington State, and even one member in Prague, Czech Republic.
Membership is built around shared interest rather than ownership, so the practical condition for joining is simply an interest in British cars.
How to Join: Step by Step
- Go to the club website at oecc.ca.
- Open the JOIN page — the site links to a membership purchase and login/sign-up page (the homepage button reads "JOIN – $25").
- Create your sign-up/login as prompted on that page.
- Pay the listed $25 membership fee through the checkout flow on that page.
- Confirm your membership and use your login for member access going forward.
The expected result is an active membership and a login you can use on the site. The site does not publish details beyond the sign-up page itself, so any questions about processing time or member benefits should go to the club directly.
Cost at a Glance
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Membership price | $25 (as listed on the JOIN page) |
| Sign-up method | Online via the JOIN / membership sign-up page |
| Eligibility | Open to anyone passionate about English cars |
| Community size | Over 700 members |

The $25 figure is the only price shown in the site's membership materials; the site does not list separate rates for different membership types, so treat $25 as the stated membership cost rather than assuming tiered pricing.
What Membership Connects You To
The club organizes its activity around four areas highlighted on its homepage:
- Events — upcoming meetings and car shows.
- Branches — five branches across BC: Kamloops, Cranbrook, Nanaimo, Vancouver and Victoria.
- Classifieds — a place to find your next car or sell one.
- Membership — the community itself.
If your main goal is buying or selling a British car, the classifieds section is the relevant draw; if it's shows and local meetups, check which of the five branches is nearest to you before joining.
Common Questions Before Signing Up
Do I need to own an English car? No. The club explicitly notes that some members don't own English cars.
Do I need to live in British Columbia? No. The club reports members in Alberta, Washington State and the Czech Republic, though branch activity is concentrated in BC.
Is $25 a one-time or annual fee? The site lists the price as "$25" without stating the billing period, so confirm the term with the club if that matters to your decision.
Where do I actually pay? On the membership purchase/login sign-up page linked from the site — the homepage "JOIN – $25" button leads there.
If you're weighing it up: join if you want access to the club's events, branch network and classifieds and the $25 cost fits your budget; hold off if you're only interested in a single local event, since the site doesn't describe non-member access to events.
