Modified – 24.10.26

MODIFIED

BUILT TO BE DIFFERENT.

A full day celebrating modified cars, individual builds and the people behind them.

For many petrolheads, modifying a car is about far more than simply changing how it looks or performs. It’s about taking something that rolled off a production line and making it completely your own.

Join us at The Motorist on Saturday 24th October 2026 for Modified, a celebration of individuality, creativity and some of the most interesting builds from across the automotive community.

From subtle OEM+ upgrades and beautifully executed restomods to tuned performance cars, stance builds, track-inspired machinery and completely outrageous projects, expect a site full of cars that refuse to stay standard.

IF IT DIDN’T LEAVE THE FACTORY LIKE THAT, WE WANT TO SEE IT

There’s no single way to build a modified car.

For some, it’s the perfect wheel and suspension setup. For others, it’s more power, less weight and a car built to attack a circuit. Then there are the full transformations where almost nothing remains untouched.

That variety is exactly what Modified at The Motorist is all about.

Expect everything from Japanese and German performance machinery to hot hatches, modern classics, custom builds, restomods and cars that are almost impossible to put into a category.

No two builds are quite the same.

BUILT, NOT JUST BOUGHT

Behind every great modified car is a story.

Modified is your chance to get up close to the cars, meet their owners and discover the decisions, ideas and countless hours that went into creating them.

Whether you’ve spent years perfecting your own build or you’re still deciding what wheels to put on your completely standard daily, everyone is welcome.

BRINGING A MODIFIED CAR?

Absolutely.

If you’ve put your own stamp on your car, get it out and bring it down.

We want the site to represent as many different corners of modified car culture as possible, from clean and understated to completely wild.

Come along on the day, or get in touch beforehand if you’re travelling with a larger group.

COMING WITH A CLUB?

If you’d like to bring your modified car club or owners group, get in touch with our team to discuss reserving an area together.

Dedicated display space is limited, so we’d recommend contacting us in advance with your club name and a rough idea of numbers.

BRANDS, BUILDERS AND BUSINESSES

Modified car culture wouldn’t exist without the businesses and people building, tuning and supplying the parts behind it.

If you’re an automotive brand, tuner, detailer, parts supplier, builder or trader and would like to get involved with Modified, we’d love to hear from you.

Whether it’s a trade stand, feature display, special build or something a little different, get in touch with our team and tell us what you have in mind.

MAKE A DAY OF IT

The Drivers Lounge will be open throughout the event, serving breakfast, lunch, coffee and drinks.

Grab a table, catch up with friends, explore The Motorist Store and take your time wandering around the machinery on display.

If you’re planning to eat with us, we’d recommend booking your table in advance as event days can get busy.
