Best of British – 27.02.2027

British Cars Event returns to The Motorist, celebrating the cars that have shaped British motoring and inspired generations of enthusiasts.

From elegant classics and lightweight sports cars to modern performance icons, British Cars Event brings together some of the finest vehicles ever to wear a British badge. Whether your passion is Aston Martin, Jaguar, MINI, Lotus, MG, Morgan, Triumph, TVR, Bentley, Rolls Royce or Land Rover, you’ll find an incredible display of British engineering and design filling the site throughout the day.

Expect everything from beautifully restored classics and concours examples to modern performance cars and cherished daily drivers. Every vehicle has its own story, and every owner shares a passion for the cars that have made Britain one of the world’s most influential automotive nations.

British Cars Event is about more than just the machinery. It’s about the community that surrounds it. Owners, clubs and enthusiasts from across the country come together to celebrate iconic marques, share stories, compare restorations and enjoy one of the friendliest automotive atmospheres you’ll find anywhere.

Whether you’re bringing your own British pride and joy or simply coming along to admire the displays, everyone is welcome. From Austin Healeys and Triumph TRs to Lotus Emiras, Jaguar F Types, Caterhams and everything in between, there will be something for every enthusiast to enjoy.

Once you’ve explored the displays, head into the Drivers Lounge for breakfast, lunch or artisan coffee, browse the retail store or simply relax and enjoy the atmosphere. It’s the perfect excuse for a drive out and a great day spent surrounded by like minded enthusiasts.
