From Richard Hammond to 30+ military vehicles - discover what’s new at the Classic Motor Show
22 October 2025
The Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show 2025 isn’t standing still. This year’s line-up adds new layers of excitement while keeping the traditions that make it the ultimate date in the classic car calendar.
Headlining the weekend, Richard Hammond returns to the NEC with DriveTribe, bringing their signature mix of stories, iconic cars, and a community that’s shaped online motoring culture. Expect expert sessions, familiar faces, and the chance to gawk at famous classics from the channel.
History takes centre stage too. The Military Vehicle Trust will honour 80 years since the end of WWII with a commemorative showcase of 30+ military vehicles. Alongside, a new Memorial Garden will provide space for reflection, with a remembrance service on Sunday 9th November.
If you prefer your classics with a twist, the brand-new Modified Zone will celebrate the art of reinvention, while the Best of the Best competition sees past winners of Lancaster Insurance Pride of Ownership return to battle for the ultimate crown.
Looking to buy? Iconic Auctioneers’ Super Sale will put 500+ cars under the hammer, with hundreds more available from trusted dealers across the halls. For serious collectors, there’s no marketplace quite like it.
And of course, the classics that make this event what it is are back:
- 3,000 vehicles across seven halls, equivalent to 16 football pitches.
- 310 car clubs covering everything from FIAT to Ferrari.
- 450 specialist traders, plus the UK’s biggest indoor Autojumble.
- A refreshed Podcast Café with some of the most talked-about automotive voices.
From rare icons to future projects, buying opportunities to browsing bliss, this is a show built for every classic car fan.
