The Classic & Retro Car Revival returns to Tatton Park this summer for its second year, continuing the legacy of the much-loved Passion for Power Classic Motor Show which entertained enthusiasts at the venue for more than three decades.
Building on a successful debut year, the event once again promises a packed celebration of classic and retro motoring, bringing together stunning vehicles, passionate clubs, specialist traders and thousands of enthusiasts for a nostalgic weekend of automotive culture.
Many of Passion for Power’s loyal car clubs will be returning to the showground with their themed displays, specialist knowledge and spectacular vehicles. Alongside an exciting line-up of new exhibitors, visitors can expect to see everything from retro icons and classic favourites to supercars and rare performance machinery, all proudly presented by owners eager to share stories, restoration journeys and motoring memories.
Car enthusiasts also have the opportunity to exhibit their own vehicles free of charge, helping create one of the most varied displays of privately owned classic and retro cars in the region. Every displayed vehicle is automatically entered into the show’s competitions, with more than 70 awards presented across the weekend, including the coveted Telegraph “Best in Show” award and honours for the best club stand displays.
Returning once again is Sporting Bears Motor Club and their hugely popular Dream Rides experience. For a charitable donation, visitors can enjoy thrilling passenger rides in a range of performance and supercars, from elegant BMWs to ferocious Ferraris. Founded in 1989, Sporting Bears has raised more than £2.6 million for children’s charities across the UK, with every penny from Dream Rides going directly to charitable causes.
The show will also feature a huge 250-plot autojumble and trade area packed with specialist suppliers, memorabilia dealers and restoration experts. From rare parts and spares to collectables, tools and accessories, visitors will find plenty of opportunities to pick up bargains, source elusive components and browse a huge selection of motoring treasures.
At the heart of the event are the club displays that continue to keep the classic car movement thriving. Organisers will once again recognise the creativity and dedication of exhibitors with awards for the top club stand presentations, celebrating the enthusiasts who work tirelessly to bring the displays to life.
With thousands of visitors expected across the weekend, the Classic & Retro Car Revival continues to establish itself as one of the standout dates on the classic motoring calendar, combining the spirit of Passion for Power with a fresh focus on classic and retro automotive culture.
