Hinckley Classic Car Show
2023-09-17 08:00 - 17:00
The Club is planning once again on attending the Hinckley Classic Motorshow on Sunday 17th September 2023.
For those of you that haven’t taken part before, this is a very informal show laid out in the streets of Hinckley town centre and is attended by many different types of classic vehicles. There’s invariably other stuff taking place at the same time to keep children and adults alike entertained, as well as the majority of the shops being open too. So, all in all, a good day out, particularly as it’s free!
The show focuses on classic vehicles or vehicles of special interest and at last year’s show, we had 10 Beetles and campers in our line up. It would be great to repeat the same or better this year, the cruise alone into town makes for quite a spectacle, as does parking up in the town centre!
If you would like to take part, please email our Membership Secretary (lwvwoc.membership@gmail.com) for further details.

Gaydon Auto Jumble 04/02/2024
2024-02-04 10:00 - 17:00 | British Motor Museum, Banbury Road, Gaydon, Warwickshire, CV35 0BJ, United Kingdom
Midlands Aircooled Swap Meet. British Motor Museum, Banbury Road, Warwick. CV35 0BJ.

After the massive, sell-out success of the first Midland’s Air-Cooled Swap Meet we’re excited to do all over again. Only this time in much larger venue.

The date for the next Swap Meet is Sunday 4th February 2024 and the new venue is the home of the world’s largest collection of historic British Cars, The British Motor Museum in Gaydon, Warwickshire.

Once again, we’re winding the clock back to the good old days of UK swap meets, where the main focus will be on quality new and used air-cooled Volkswagen and Porsche related items. Whether it’s NOS/genuine used parts you’re after, or quality new items, we wanty ou to come away with everything you need for your beloved vehicle.

We had tremendous support at the last event and many of those traders from our first Swap Meet have already signed up again. We also have many more wishing trade too and if you’ve got a load of quality air-cooled parts you’re looking to sell, please get in touch and ask about a pitch. Just be quick as they’re allocated on a first come, first serve basis.

The British Motor Museum is located in the heart of the Midlands, just a few minutes off junction 12 of the M40, so it’s within easy reach for all. The superb new venue is larger than the previous one and has its own dedicated entrance and extensive parking for your air-cooled vehicles.

Why not make a full day of it by coming along to the swap meet and then having a look around the amazing collection of classic British made metal? (Separate charges apply).

We recommend buying your swap meet general admission tickets well in advance to avoid disappointment. Visit our website midlandsaircooledswapmeet.com to buy your tickets.

We look forward to seeing you all on Sunday 4th February 2024.

***We now have a Club Plot at the Show***

Stanford Hall - 2024
2024-05-05
This is the big one, our very own Stanford Hall show!
If you’re not already familiar, the Stanford Hall event takes place around the lake on the grounds of a 17th Century Country House in rural Leicestershire. It’s seen by many as the year’s premier classic Volkswagen show but still retains a relaxed family-friendly atmosphere.
Since the first event in 1976, the emphasis has always been on putting on a great display of classic unmodified Volkswagens of all types. We have always aimed to give great value for money, whether it’s in the entry prices or the fees for the trade stands.
