The Classic Vehicle Show is always one of the highlights of Retro Festival — and this year is set to be another incredible showcase of motoring history, character and craftsmanship.

From classic cars, bikes and scooters to campervans, caravans, military vehicles, trucks and more, the show brings together hundreds of amazing vehicles, all either over 30 years old or custom built.

We’re also delighted to have Project Heaven Restoration involved again, sponsoring the Classic Vehicle Show and running the Classic Vehicle Awards competition for us. With class awards, best in show prizes and some fun categories too, it all adds an extra bit of excitement to the weekend.
