Midsummer’s Evening at Classic Motor Hub – June 2023

The Classic Motor Hub is one of those places that you would be very unlikely to find by accident, as it is located in the middle of nowhere on a narrow country lane a couple of miles north of the pretty Cotswold village of Bibury. But for anyone who has been, they are very likely to return time and ...

2020 BMW 230i xDrive Convertible (USA)

For almost as long as there have been cars, there has been a significant market for something which prioritises style over pure utility, and the car makers have responded to this with coupe and convertible models, often very obviously based on their volume-selling two and four door saloon and hatchb...

London Concours – June 2023

Now firmly established not just in the UK events listing, but also having gained recognition on the global stage for the quality of its content, the London Concours has become one of those "unmissable" events for those who love to see a carefully curated display of high-end supercars, exotica and so...

Shelsley Walsh Cars in the Valley – June 2023

Evening events held during the week have become increasingly popular and allow those of us for whom a packed weekend schedule is already the limiting factor on how many different cars you can see to get more of that automotive “fix”.

Viva Italia at Sywell – June 2023

There are a lot of Italian car events in the UK. So is there room for yet another one? The team at Auto Italia rather hope that there is.

Caffeine & Machine – 3rd June 2023

Just a week or so after visiting Caffeine & Machine, here I am again. And why not? In the less than five years since the location opened, it has become a sort of automotive mecca, attracting all manner of enthusiasts from far and wide who come here to show off their car, look at the cars and bik...

2022 Chevrolet Traverse LT Leather (USA)

A few years into the twentyfirst century, the automotive sector started to move away from truck-like SUVs into what became known as the crossover, which appeared to combine the best of both worlds, with a more car-like driving experience but all the advantages of space and raised driving position of...

Jaguar Breakfast Club at Gaydon – June 2023

For some time now, there has been a monthly gathering of Jaguar and Daimler owners at the British Motor Museum at Gaydon, on the first Saturday of the month.
