Whether you’re young or old, new to the world of classic cars, or a seasoned pro, you can’t do better than seeing classic cars up close and personal ‘in the flesh’. Fortunately, in this country we are lucky enough to have a splendid array of classic car shows, and many many classic car owners who enjoy displaying their prized possessions for all to see. So here are a few of the best…
Cholmondley Castle: 31st August 2014
This event is hosted in the exquisite grounds of Cholmondley Castle in Cheshire and is run by the Andrew Greenwood’s Classic Car Show team. The 2014 offering was exceptionally well put together, with the highlight being an arena where cars were shown off to the viewing public. Whilst cars were displayed, we were treated to a commentary so we were all able to get a good feel for the car on display. This was a nice touch, especially as so many classic car shows often just feature endless rows of old cars with little else to draw you in. The Cholmondley Castle classic car show 2014 featured UK cars, and many others from around the world – including USA, France and Switzerland. It was a great event and the car owners were very friendly and happy to talk about their beloved cars. It was a perfect day out for serious enthusiasts and those just dipping their toes into the water of classic cars.

The Bristol Italian Auto Moto Festival
On Saturday 19th April, Bristol’s lovely old city was turned into a home for the finest Italian classic cars and supercars. It was a spectacular sight especially when you took in the old Victorian and Georgian buildings with their flash new additions parked out front! The Bristol Italian Auto Moto Festival was held on Easter Saturday and was a great day out for young and old.
Highlights included the Alfa Romeo GT Junior 1300 Scalino ‘Step Front’ and a 2000 GTV, but there were so many beautiful cars on display that they all stole a little part of our hearts! Onlookers were treated to a host of to-die-for cars including Maserati, Ferrari, Lancia, Alfa Romeo and Lamborghini lining the streets.
At the end of the day, if you were still unable to be torn away from these beautiful beasts, you were treated to the sounds of the engines purring into life to head off for home. As far as any classic car show 2014 UK goes, this has to be one of our absolute favourites. It was hugely enjoyable seeing these fantastic cars in a city centre location, contrasting with the old buildings and narrow streets. So, if it’s a real head turner of a day that you’re after, we’ll see you at next year’s show – where we’re hoping for much mo
