Skipton car show back for 2024
West Yorkshire was blessed with three successful City/Town centre shows (plus a few more smaller events). Bradford was the first but after 17 years it stopped three years ago, Wakefield, which has a strong Americana presence and Skipton. Skipton took a break for a few years but reappeared in 2023 and will be back againContinue reading “Skipton car show back for 2024”
Goodwood is proud to announce…
There is a bit of concern about the future of classic cars, given the climate crisis and the need to save the planet. A lot of classic car enthusiasts don’t see electric conversions as a satisfactory option and it seems unlikely that in the future petrol will remain an easily accessible fuel in the national fuelContinue reading “Goodwood is proud to announce…”
A glimpse into the past
I don’t have much of an automobilia collection. True I have 5 cars, some models and a book case full of car books, but that’s not a lot, is it? My book collection has grown by visiting charity shops, car boot sales and auto jumbles. I like auto biographies and books from or about 1960’sContinue reading “A glimpse into the past”
Yorkshire Elegance is back!
By Classic Yorkshire correspondent Tony Lofthouse One of the region’s top classic car events is returning in 2024 and to a stylish new venue in North Yorkshire. Last month, I was delighted to find out more about plans for Yorkshire Elegance 2024 at a launch day in the attractive surrounds of Grantley Hall, near RiponContinue reading “Yorkshire Elegance is back!”
30th edition of the Festival of Speed.
After a weekend of amazing action and anniversaries, the 30th edition of the Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard has come to a memorable close. On Sunday, the event resumed after the Festival of Speed was – for the first time in 30 years – cancelled due to a severe wind warning in the GoodwoodContinue reading “30th edition of the Festival of Speed.”
The UK’s best Ferrari gathering?
Salon Privé’s Ferrari 75th Anniversary Class will bring together arguably the most important set of classic Ferraris ever seen in the UK. The sheer breadth of the group is mesmerising, ranging from the first production car that rolled off the line – on a rare outing from Ferrari’s own collection – to seldom-seen rarities that illustrateContinue reading “The UK’s best Ferrari gathering?”
It’s back 2022 – Croft Nostalgia Festival
Incorporating the Historic Sports Car Club Race Meeting Saturday 3rd & Sunday 4th September 2022 I was disappointed when Croft Nostalgia disappeared off the calendar. Croft is a good circuit, conveniently located and with an experienced team able to get cars in and out with the minimum of delay. Excellent period racing with a crowdContinue reading “It’s back 2022 – Croft Nostalgia Festival”
Yorkshire Rover rally returns
By Classic Yorkshire correspondent Tony Lofthouse As a self confessed Rover enthusiast it was a treat to pop along to the return of the Yorkshire Rover Club show at Oakwell Hall, near Birstall. Around 50 Rovers lined up on the front lawn of the 16th century manor house – everything from a P4 series RoverContinue reading “Yorkshire Rover rally returns”

Big crowds turn out for Race the Waves ‘A Theatre of Automotion’
Big crowds turned out for this year’s Race the Waves on Bridlington seafront. In one of my favourite events visitors were treated to one of the most unusual car and motorcycle events in the calendar. Featuring predominantly 1920’s and 1930’s hot rodded cars it is a complete antidote to the traditional field based classic car show. As theContinue reading “Big crowds turn out for Race the Waves ‘A Theatre of Automotion’”
Event reminder: Race the waves
I’m really looking forward to this event. Taking place over the fathers day weekend it is an ideal place to take your dad. A run to the coast, interesting cars racing on the beach and a large vintage fair in the nearby pavilion. Finish off with a fish and chip supper and it has allContinue reading “Event reminder: Race the waves”
