This year’s Practical Classics Classic Car and Restoration Show attracted 26,912 classic car enthusiasts to the Birmingham NEC.
Visitors were treated to 160 car clubs, live demos, interviews, and expert panels featuring Ant Anstead, Richard Hammond, Paul Cowland and Gary Mavers. Dominic Chinea from BBC’s The Repair Shop, Dream Car Fixers’ Sheldon Nichols, and Bangers & Cash and Restoring Classics gaffer Derek Mathewson.
The Sporting Bears Motoring Club raised £19,250 from their Dream Rides over the weekend.
Seeing the clubs work together to share their knowledge and skills was really heart-warming. We had all ages working on cars which gives you real hope for our community as we embrace our heritage as well as nurturing future generations.
Thanks to everyone involved including all our show partners, sponsors, traders and visitors as well as our motoring celebrities and the team from Practical Classics.
Said Show Director Lee Masters.
The 2025 Practical Classics Classic Car and Restoration Show will take place from the 21st to the 23rd of March 2025.
