Themed Events

Great British Car Shows Presents: Land Rover on September 6th:

Keats described Autumn rather romantically as the season of “mists and mellow fruitfulness” but it can also be the season of mud and extreme bogginess! No problem if you own a Land Rover or Range Rover : These utterly British icons have sold all over the world. Often copied, seldom equalled. Some ten years after the demise of the ‘classic’ Defender tracing its roots back to day-one we welcome all the traditional and modern sons of Solihull.

Great British Car Shows Presents: Austin on September 13th:

Herbert Austin died 85 years ago, 5 years after he was ennobled Baron Austin of Longbridge, the part of Birmingham which is synonymous with “The Austin” works. For over 80 years the Austin name adorned millions of cars which brought motoring to the masses. From the Seven to the Metro with the Mini in between, Austin and Morris were the founding fathers of British mass car ownership. The A30 is now 75 years old whilst at 70, the Healey 100-6 refuses to grow old gracefully.

Great British Car Shows Presents: Vauxhall on September 27th:

Vauxhall was a British company until November 1925 when it was bought by General Motors. Vauxhall cars have been ubiquitous occupants of British streets for many decades with Vivas, Chevettes, Cavaliers and Corsas being huge sellers often taking the fight to Ford in the battle of the Americans. Few motorists will know the significance of the Vauxhall Griffin logo but come to Great British Car Journey and find out! Meanwhile the Belmont turns 40 this year.

The Cavalier and Chevette Club, will be joining us again for this event
