Mr Miles, the one of the founders of the EJ EH Holden Club ACT, will have his pride and joy, the Winton red EH Holden S4, on display.
When he first bought it the car was worse for wear from its Bathurst racing days. It's one of 12 in known existance, but only one of eight vintage Holdens in Mr Miles' possession.
He is currently restoring the rarest EH Premier ever made, the factory standard pink, he also has a three door EH panel van, an EJ Premier and EJ Special among the bunch.
Mr Miles is one of about 60 registered participants in the car show and he expects about 20 cars will register on the day.
All pre-1980 Holden vehicles are welcome as well as vintage caravans.
Gates open 7.30am for 9am start, trophy presentation for the grand champion EJ and EH will be at 2.00pm. Registration on the day is $45.
The day is not only for the revheads or the car enthusiasts, but has something for everyone, Mr Miles said.
"It's good for Queanbeyan because we have people come from across the state and we promote the businesses in the area to them throughout the day," he said.
"Funds raised will go to our nominated charity, The Cancer Support Group of Eden-Monaro- we don't make any money out of it at all.
"There will be stalls from sponsors, raffles, car parts auctioned off, rides and face painting for the kids.
"If you want to see home pre '80s nice old cars then come to the show - there's something for everyone."
The ninth EJ EH Holden Car Show will be held at the Queanbeyan Show-ground on Sunday, May 24 from 9am.
