Federal President
Steven Berveling
Welcome to the website of The Rolls-Royce Owners Club of Australia, and through that to our Clubs.
Club membership has many benefits if you are interested in Rolls Royces or Bentleys. The Club has access to large technical and historical resources relating to the cars, and the friendship and camaraderie between members is long term and great.
My work enables me to travel, meet and make Rolls Royce friends throughout Australia.
At home, we are fortunate to have a 1933 Phantom II Continental and a 1993 Silver Spirit II. The Phantom is currently on loan to the Sir Henry Royce Foundation’s Coolum Showroom in Queensland, and the Spirit provides wonderful drives to Club events.
Please do not hesitate to contact me directly for any information I can help with.

He has veteran, vintage and classic cars ranging from 1909 to 1984. They include four marque cars of which his favourite is a 1966 Bentley MPW fixed head coupe CBH1973.

He also has a long-term interest in Jensen, owning a 1970 FF.

Federal Treasurer
David Furniss
David is a member of the South Australian Branch, is an active committee member in that State and has been a member for over 20 years. He has a 1925 Rolls-Royce Phantom 1 which has been in the family since the late 1930’s and a 2007 Bentley Arnage. His involvement with Car Clubs stated at university with membership of the Adelaide University Car Club and has never ended.
David is a mechanical engineer with extensive automotive experience. This broadened into more general business and specialty technical areas with the ownership of businesses including precision metal fabrication.
Membership with the RROCA provides an excellent opportunity to meet with those who have an active interest in their cars from all over Australia, to provide a resource for knowledge for our cars, and to socialise with a great bunch of people.
