Car on stage

Concours d'Histoire will create an immersive storytelling experience that will offer visitors the opportunity to indulge their passion for the history of the motorcar through the use of intimate workshops, keynote speakers and a focus on each car that ensures its story is told.

Classic Racing car

Concours d'Histoire will be like no other car show in the UK. Expect to see in-depth interviews with motor sport personalities, designers and engineers; panel discussions on issues affecting the classic car movement; live demonstrations of craftsmanship related to restoration and preservation; and of course, some of the greatest cars in the world - their stories told in depth, by experts.
