Classic Car Shows - A Calendar of events to come this summer!

Finally got my act in gear and have made a list of all the car shows I intend to be visiting this summer!

There are far too many to name across the country, so I'm trying to keep it to ones along the South Coast, with a few further a field thrown in for good measure. Unless I can magic myself to being in several places at once, I am going to have to choose between shows on some weekends. 

 If anyone comes up with any I may have missed, please let me know! And if you have been to any and could make my life a little easier when choosing, let me know what you thought when you went please :) Always wanting to explore new ones and meet new people, and show off Tilly of course, heh!

Anyway, here it is so far. I've kept it to dates and places, if you want to find out more about any of them, there's a few sites I use, but Google generally does the job!

Maybe see you there?

  1. That's so nice, dear. So your fascination for classic cars drives you to attend car shows all year round. That's good! I attend many shows too! I take pictures of these awesomely restored cars. I hope I can see you next time!

  2. That sounds pretty rad! Well, a road trip for car shows seems pretty fun. Classic/vintage car shows can be particularly nice, since there is an enjoyable atmosphere around events like those, no? It gives you the feeling that the hands of the clock have turned back to the time when cars in those shows were common.
