Getting Started- Classic

PhotoThere are no precise cut off dates for classics fortunately. They are generally older cars that people enjoy owning. As a rough guide this would be pre 1981 but there are many great cars made after that date.

The club organises a number of runs for classics each year and we are invited to those run by other clubs like MG Cumbria. Some of these are run on an evening and finish at a pub for sandwiches while others last the whole day and go further afield.

Our major classic event is the Cumbria Classic Weekend which usually takes place on the third weekend of August. The Pennine Classic Tour heads off into the highest part of England on the Saturday and the Cumbria Classic car Show takes place at Dalemain House on the Sunday. There are over 300 cars there, along with club displays, trade stands and autojumble. We also push the motorsport side of the club with trails and autotests displays.Photo

On the Sunday nearest to Saint George's Day we are involved in the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Club's “Drive it Day” where all classic and historic vehicles are asked to exert their right to drive on the highway. We usually have a central meeting point where you can visit throughout the day.
