Shannons was created in the early 1970s as a specialist insurance provider for Australia’s Motoring Enthusiasts, run by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts.
Today Shannons has offices in all state capitals, the ACT and the Northern Territory. Across Australia Shannons is the first choice of motoring enthusiasts when it comes to insuring their special cars, motorcycles and homes, as well as their day to day vehicles. In addition to meeting the insurance needs of motoring enthusiasts, in 1981 Shannons introduced an Auction division and now conducts around eight auctions each year including two of Australia's biggest classic vehicle auctions, the prestigious Australian International Motor Show Auction in Sydney or its equivalent at the Melbourne International Motor Show. Shannons has grown with support from the Australian Car Club movement and is intimately involved in supporting clubs and motoring enthusiasts through promotions and event sponsorships at the grass roots level of the motoring enthusiast community.
