The Best Car Shows in the UK

Posted on Sunday, 05 June 2011 10:44PM by Editor


Whether it’s supercars that thrill you; classic cars that have become your hobby; or certain brands and models that catch your eye; you can find a show or event to suit you in the UK. Taking place across the country and throughout the year, I’ve found the best ones which will enhance your car interest and make a fun day out or weekend.


Firstly, if you’re interested in classic cars and the ‘golden age’ of motoring; head over to Cheshire for a weekend this summer, and take in the display of over 2,000 classic cars. Now in its 25th year, the Cheshire Classic and Performance Car Spectacular and Autojumble is held in Tatton Park, Knutsford, and features every classic car from the MGR to the Rolls Royce.


If Mini Coopers take your fancy, a drive to the Mini Cooper Register Rally in the New Forest is well worth a visit. Also in its 25th year, the Rally is one of the biggest events on the Mini calendar, and showcases Mini Coopers from 1961 to the present day. Better still, your ticket will be subsidised if you arrive in a Mini Cooper!


If you’re a thrill-seeker looking for the fastest and most exhilarating cars, look no further than the PistonHeads Performance Car Show. Featuring the most exotic and breath-taking supercars; the show is the leading UK exhibition of sports and performance cars, and displays cars from only the top-end manufacturers. This exhibition also sells accessories and gadgets to add to your car, although be careful if you’re modifying your car as you may struggle when trying to find the cheapest car insurance.


Autosport International is a showcase motorsport event held annually at the NEC in Birmingham. Considered Europe’s largest dedicated trade-only motorsport exhibition, the show offers the chance for the trade audience to network with industry professionals. Encompassing all areas of motorsport from Karting to Formula One; this event takes place next January, and is one to put in your diary.


For all-round car enthusiasts, grab yourself a ticket for the MPH Show which features Top Gear Live, and check out some of the world’s most expensive supercars and best-kept classic cars. The event is held at Earl’s Court and the NEC every year, and whilst tickets can be fairly pricey, the hour-long live show and huge exhibition make it a really enjoyable day out. Featuring Pagani Zonda’s, Ferrari’s, Maserati’s, and Lamborghini’s, this is definitely a day for your camera!


So there you have it, a year packed full of the best car shows around. Whether visiting with fellow enthusiasts or with your family, there’s an event to cater for everyone; contributing to a thoroughly enjoyable day out.
