Britain's What's On Event Guide
Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show
The Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show returns to the NEC Birmingham, 7–9 November, for the grand finale of the classic motoring calendar—a spectacular celebration of automotive history and passion.
Spanning seven halls, this is the UK’s biggest indoor classic car event, bringing together 3,000+ classic cars and bikes, 310+ clubs, and 450+ traders for three unforgettable days. From pre-war icons and post-war saloons to rally legends, American muscle and rare supercars, every era and style is represented.
Meet the people who make the scene thrive—clubs sharing stories, expert advice, and inspiration at every turn. Hunt down parts, tools, gifts and memorabilia in the UK’s largest indoor autojumble, or explore 600+ classics for sale, including Iconic Auctioneers’ Super Sale where more than 500 vehicles go under the hammer.
The show is packed with entertainment and insight. The Meet the Experts Theatre hosts celebrity guests and debates on restoration, modification, and the future of motoring. DriveTribe returns with trademark energy, joined by Richard Hammond (Friday) and Mike Brewer across the weekend. In the Restoration Workshop, pros share hands-on skills to help you tackle your own projects.
See show highlights including the Lancaster Insurance Pride of Ownership competition, the Meguiar’s Club Showcase, and the family-friendly DadCars Family Zone, complete with Mini Rovers giving kids the chance to get behind the wheel.
Whether you’re a lifelong enthusiast, a budding collector, or simply curious about the classic scene, the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show offers a full-throttle weekend of cars, culture, and community—the perfect way to round off the motoring year in style.
