2020 was a year to forget for the classic car event industry. Yes, there was a hint of what could’ve been with Goodwood’s depleted yet heartening Revival, but classic car fans will be hoping for many more events in 2021.
Thankfully, this year is looking much better for classic car shows. There are events big and small planned across the country for those wanting to show off their pride and joy, as well as those just wishing to admire the cars on display.
Below, we’ve assembled some unmissable upcoming classic car events for you to put in your diary.
Goodwood Revival Corvette
Stuttgart motor show
Festival of the Unexceptional
Techno essen
Maastricht Jaguar XK
MESSE BREMEN/Jan Rathke
London classic
Ferrari 250 SWB Austin Healey 3000 goodwood revival
Festival of the Unexceptional
Festival of the Unexceptional
Heveningham Ferrari 250 GTO
Daytona Classic Race

Bicester Sunday Scramble
Contrasting ultra-exclusive events like Pebble Beach or London’s Concours d’elegance, Hagerty’s Festival of the Unexceptional is a refreshing celebration of the ordinary. Instead of Koenigseggs and Rolls-Royces, cars like the Morris Minor, Ford Granada and Austin Princess take centre stage in one of the most endearing classic car shows you can attend.
Featuring a vast array of classic cars, The British Motor Show will be an event you won’t want to miss this summer. Plenty of exciting driving will be on offer as well with Paul Swift’s stunt driving and ‘The Caterham Experience’. There will also be celebrity guests in the shape of Mike Brewer, Fuzz Townshend and Tim Shaw.

Bicester Sunday Scramble
The Bicester Sunday Scramble is a unique classic car event. You won’t find such an eclectic mix of classics in an idyllic setting anywhere else in the world. Whether you own a pre-war, modern classic or anything in between, Sunday Scramble is an event you’ll love. The event begins at 9am and runs until 2pm so make sure you get there early to catch the best action.
A highlight in the diary of any classic car fan, the London Concours features some of the finest cars in the world set against a central London backdrop to make for a stunning event. This year’s event will be spread across three days - each with their own theme; VIP Preview Day, Style Edition Day and Supercar Day.
Arguably the pinnacle of car events, Goodwood’s Festival of Speed is a must for any car enthusiast with a seemingly endless collection of fascinating cars. Whether it’s the hillclimb, rally or concours area, there’s always something to do and see at Goodwood.
If watching motorsport legends race wheel to wheel is your thing, then the Silverstone Classic is an unmissable event. There are also air displays, a vintage fun fair and live music to keep the whole family entertained.
