From iconic BMWs and elegant Jaguars to rare performance cars and lovingly restored classics, the event promises an incredible display of automotive history, passion and craftsmanship. With more than 2,000 classic vehicles expected to be on show, visitors will have the chance to get up close to some of the finest privately owned cars from across the UK and beyond.
At the heart of the show are the dedicated car clubs whose extravagant displays and beautifully presented vehicles have become a hallmark of the event over the past 30 years. Club members are always on hand to share stories, restoration journeys and technical knowledge, creating a welcoming atmosphere for both seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
Alongside the club displays, owners are also invited to exhibit their own vehicles free of charge, helping create one of the most diverse and impressive gatherings of classic and performance cars in the country. Every entered vehicle is automatically considered for one of more than 70 awards presented across the weekend, including the coveted “Best in Show” title and awards for the best club stand displays.
The event is also a paradise for collectors, restorers and bargain hunters thanks to its massive autojumble and trade area. Visitors can browse an extensive range of classic parts, spares, accessories, memorabilia and collectables, with specialist suppliers and enthusiasts offering everything needed for restoration projects or garage upgrades. For many attendees, the autojumble is the first stop of the day, shopping lists firmly in hand.
Adding even more excitement to the weekend, Sporting Bears Motor Club will once again be offering their hugely popular Dream Rides experience. In exchange for a charitable donation, visitors can enjoy thrilling passenger rides in a stunning selection of performance and supercars, from Ferraris to high-performance BMWs.
Founded in 1989, Sporting Bears has raised more than £2.6 million for children’s charities across the UK through events and Dream Rides experiences. Run entirely by volunteers, every penny raised goes directly to charitable causes, making the experience one of the most exciting and rewarding attractions of the show.
With more than 16,000 enthusiasts attending every year, the Classic & Performance Car Spectacular continues to be one of the standout dates in the classic motoring calendar — combining stunning vehicles, passionate communities, great shopping and unforgettable experiences in the picturesque surroundings of Tatton Park.
