Vintage truck events

UK PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS FORUMS OLD TIME LORRIES, COMPANIES AND DRIVERS (INTERACT
1

I came across this forum a few weeks ago and it has really fired up my nostalgia big time. I think it is a great forum with contributions from many people with encyclopedic knowledge of trucks.

Now that my fond memories of vintage trucks has been well and truly regenerated, I want to attend vintage truck/bus events that are scheduled to take place in 2016.

Can anyone suggest any worthwhile vents that I might attend? Please bear in mind that I live in London so anything within 150 or so miles would be ideal.

Many thanks.

the Banbury Run,held at Gaydon,is a fantastic event if you’re into old bikes,atkiman :slight_smile:

Yeah went once many years ago really is a good rally just a bit too far from us . normally stay with it 40 mile radius for fuel cost reasons! !!!

If you go to any events at Gaydon this year you will find a lot of changes. The museum (now called The British Motor Museum) has been completely revamped and altered around. There is a new building where all the cars not on display in the main museum, what is known as ‘the reserve collection’, will be available to be viewed (about 250 I think). That is plus all the extra tarmaced area that was created last summer. The museum has been closed over the winter whilst the work took place and will reopen in February.
