Now a resident at Mosgiel's Birchleigh Residential Care Centre, Michael Throp will be able to watch a parade of the participating British vehicles as they travel to Simpson Park, Lawrence.
Organiser Steve McNulty said it was a way of acknowledging Mr Throp's involvement in co-ordinating the inaugural running of what was to become a popular event held "all over New Zealand".
Any road-legal British vehicle - be it car, motorcycle, bus or fire appliance - is eligible.
The vehicles will gather at Dunedin's Ice Stadium car park, in Victoria Rd, St Kilda, between 9am and 10.30am.
In Lawrence, drivers' skills tests will be held.
Money raised will be donated to the Life Education Trust.
