In it’s 35th year, the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show, with Discovery is the largest classic car show in the UK. It spans over three days, and with over 300 motoring clubs in attendance and boasting the UK’s largest indoor autojumble, it takes that long to get around all of the displays! It’s the perfect place to get hold of that elusive part or special tool, discover new products, catch up with fellow petrolheads and add a few extra inches to your dream cars list.
This year’s theme of Top Trumps was a hit, with every stand stepping up to the challenge. With 71,000 visitors through the doors over the course of the weekend, it’s safe to say that it was a success!
In a world where a future of hybrids and electric vehicles seems inevitable, it’s always exciting to see an impressive array of heartstopping classics everything from a MkI Escort Mexico to a delicious AC Aceca and everything in between. We were especially delighted to see that the Mini was also really well represented, giving us a fitting finale to our 60th anniversary year.
