The Classic & Retro Car Revival sponsored by Hagerty emerges in place of the Passion for Power Classic Motor Show that has been running for more than 30 years at Tatton Park.
Some of Passion for Power’s loyal car clubs will be at the show, decked out with their themed exhibitions and elaborate knowledge of anything and everything supercar along with a variety of incredible newcomers. They are always happy to have a chat about their incredible vehicles – or anything else to do with classic cars!
Additionally, car lovers have the opportunity to exhibit their car for free at this years’ show, just go to the Display Your Car section to find the application form.
The Show also features a massive autojumble with specialist suppliers and enthusiasts, alongside the car mart, which includes a great variety of general trade stalls. Whatever it is you need, we’re sure it can be found at Tatton Park – usually at a bargain price!
All cars on display are then entered into competitions across the weekend, where over 70 prestigious awards will be presented each day for various categories – from the coveted The Telegraph ‘Best in Show’ award to the Best Club Stand Display!
