Private Entry

All Vehicles entered must be registered in this country up to 31 December 1983. Each pass admits two adults and two children and costs £2.50 per vehicle per event, all other occupants pay normal admission prices on the day. Passes are only valid when attached to a qualifying vehicle - admission at the normal rate will be charged if this is not adhered to. ALL pre-booked classics will qualify for a commemorative plaque. Advertising cars for sale in these sections is NOT allowed.

Concours

Concours judging takes on Mondays (Essex Sunday), and up to 4 trophies are awarded depending on the size of the classes.
Following changes to Concours classes in 2003, we have decided to introduce a new "rolling" qualification of 25 years old for concours entrants. In 2008 therefore, vehicles registered up to 31st December 1983 will qualify. This will only affect classes G H I K & L. Another innovation introduced in 2005 was a special class for previous concours class winners at Shuttleworth & Knebworth. Previous winners will have their own masterclass within the show.

Club Displays

Clubs may book sites at any of our Classic Events for a minimum of 3 vehicles (no maximum - subject to space available) at a cost of £2.50 per vehicle per event. Passes that you order allow entry to the event for up to two adults & two children only (4-14), all other occupants pay the normal admission price on the day. Passes are only valid when attached to a qualifying vehicle on arrival at the venue - admission at the normal rate will be charged if this is not adhered to.
