There’s a lot to celebrate at this year’s Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show, held at Birmingham’s NEC from 8-10 November, as it marks 40 years since it first opened its doors in 1984.
With exciting new features as well as the usual favourites, more motoring clubs than ever before with over 330 organisations attending – which means over 3,000 cars and motorbikes – and a fantastic line-up of experts and personalities, there’s plenty for the whole family to enjoy.
Visitors will be invited to join us in welcoming four inductees into the prestigious Hall of Fame. The inductees have contributed to the classic motoring scene as well as the show in the categories of Industry Ambassador, Community Ambassador, Motoring Club and Classic Car.
Fans of motoring podcasts are in for a treat in the new Podcast Lounge as we invite some of your favourites such as Auto Alex, Driven, My Dad’s Car, TyreKickers UK and many more to record an episode in front of a live audience. Get your seats early as space is limited!
Motoring fans of all ages should head to the new DadCars Family Zone where they will find activities such as motoring treasure hunts, colouring, and competitions as well as Roadster Magazine and the Mini Rovers driving experience.
Make sure to Meet the Experts where you will find informative panels on all things motoring, along with famous faces such as Wheeler Dealers’ Mike Brewer, YouTubers such as Auto Alex, Top Dead Centre, HubNut, and I Drive a Classic.
Cast your vote in the Lancaster Insurance Pride of Ownership competition where one of the 20 owners and their stunning cars will be crowned the winner of our autumn final. Who wins is up to you!
Talking of finals, the Meguiar’s Club Showcase brings together the best of the best from the club scene. Expert judges will have the tough challenge of deciding who takes the coveted title.
If you want to do more than look at cars, visit the Sporting Bears’ Dream Rides where there will be 80-100 cars, ranging from sports to super cars, classics to muscle motors, offering a ten-mile passenger ride in exchange for a donation to their children’s charities.
Maybe you like getting your hands dirty but need some help and advice? Then Restoration Workshop is the place for you as the team from Gilbert Michaelson will be on hand to share their knowledge and demonstrate their skills.
Add to this an epic car and motorcycle sale by Iconic Auctioneers, a hall of dealers, specialist traders and a huge indoor autojumble, making it the must visit season finale of the motoring calendar.
Celebrating 40 years as a must-attend event for car enthusiasts across the UK, the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show is marking its anniversary in style. In a nostalgic tribute, several dedicated club members who have attended every show since its inception reflect on their cherished memories. Don’t miss the chance to join in on the celebration – watch the 40th Anniversary video and experience the journey through four decades of classic motoring history.
