Classic Motor Show 2026

The Classic Motor Show returns to the NEC Campus from 13 to 15 November, taking over Halls 1-5 and 8. It's the UK's biggest indoor classic car show, with more than 3,000 vehicles on display across about 16 football pitches of floor space. This year's theme is 'Debutant', and the organisers challenged the 320 participating clubs to bring at least one car that's never been exhibited at the show before, which has put hundreds of first-timers across the halls.

There's a fair bit to see. Maserati has a stand spanning four eras, from the 4CS and 300S through to the track-focused MCXtrema. You'll find a 1991 Mazda MX-5 Le Mans Edition, a Jaguar XJ40 register led by the oldest surviving example, the TVR Tuscan S that starred in Looney Tunes: Back in Action, and a pair of Saab Sonett models. Beyond the cars, there's a YouTube Village of automotive creators, the Meguiar's Club Showcase, and a Hall of Fame. On Saturday and Sunday, Iconic Auctioneers runs a Super Auction with more than 500 vehicles under the hammer.

It's run by Clarion Events Ltd, with Lancaster Insurance as headline sponsor, Iconic Auctioneers as auction partner, Meguiar's as detailing partner, PGVM as logistics partner, and StarterMotor as charity partner. There's also the UK's biggest indoor autojumble for parts and accessories, and visitors can vote in the 'Pride of Ownership' public poll.
