Practical Classics Classic Car & Restoration Show 2027

The Practical Classics Classic Car & Restoration Show is one of the highlights of the UK classic car calendar and a must-visit event for anyone interested in restoration, preservation and the stories behind historic vehicles.

Held at the NEC in Birmingham, the show brings together hundreds of clubs, exhibitors, specialists and enthusiasts from across the country. Unlike a traditional car show, the focus here is on restoration in progress, giving visitors the opportunity to see vehicles being rebuilt, repaired and returned to the road, often with owners and restorers on hand to discuss their projects.

The show features an extensive range of club displays, restoration projects, trade exhibitors, specialist suppliers and automotive services, making it one of the best places in the country to find advice, inspiration and hard-to-source parts for classic vehicles.

Whether you're planning a full restoration, maintaining a cherished vehicle, or simply enjoy seeing remarkable projects and historic vehicles up close, there is something here for every motoring enthusiast.
