Truro Classic Car Show – Back for its third year!

A Celebration of Motoring Heritage in the Heart of the City 🚘🎶

Truro is gearing up once again to welcome car enthusiasts from across Cornwall and beyond, on Sunday 6th July, to the much-loved Truro Classic Car Show – a free, family-friendly event set to fill the city centre with the unmistakable charm of classic motoring.

Taking place in a prime city centre location, this annual celebration offers a rare opportunity to see a wide variety of beautifully preserved classic and vintage vehicles, spanning from the 1920s to the 2020s. From timeless favourites to quirky rarities, the event continues to grow in popularity – and size – each year.

🚗 What to Expect
The 2025 show promises to be the biggest yet, with vehicles spread across key city centre streets including Lemon Quay, Lemon Street, and Boscawen Street. New for this year, Pydar Street will play host to an exciting collection of motorcycles, expanding the display and adding even more variety for visitors to enjoy.

Expect to see iconic marques such as Morris, Jaguar, Mercedes, Triumph, Porsche, MG, and Ford, along with many others, lovingly maintained and proudly displayed by their owners.

The event also includes:
🛠️ Automobilia and autojumble stalls
🎵 Live music performances throughout the day
🚘 A small selection of brand-new vehicles from local dealers including Vospers, Hawkins Motor Group, Parklands Toyota, and P Perryman & Sons Commercial Vehicles.

👋 Special Guest Appearance
The show will also welcome Sam Lovegrove, the much-admired mechanic and presenter from shows such as Find It, Fix It, Drive It and Shed and Buried. Known for his passion for reviving rare and forgotten machines, Sam will be bringing along one of his classic cars and chatting with visitors and exhibitors throughout the day.

💬 What They’re Saying
Alun Jones, Truro BID Manager, said:
“We’re looking forward to hosting the third Truro Classic Car Show and transforming the city with a static display of much-loved classic and vintage vehicles. We’re pleased to be continuing to increase the size of the event with more activity throughout the city centre and delighted that the Park and Ride have agreed to operate a shuttle service from Tregurra. It will be a great opportunity for car enthusiasts, and the event will also help increase footfall into the city and benefit many of our resident businesses.”

Elise Alma, Chair of Coodes Solicitors, added:
“This promises to be a great day out for classic car enthusiasts from across Cornwall and Coodes is delighted to be sponsoring this event once again. It will also be raising money for a very important cause, and we hope it attracts a lot of people to the city centre.”

Sam Lovegrove said:
“I’m delighted to be invited to the show and, as well as showcasing one of my classic cars, I’m looking forward to browsing around and seeing what restorations may have taken place. I fully appreciate the love and care it takes to keep classic and vintage motorcycles and motorcars going. It is wonderful that this growing event highlights both the automotive community and raises the profile of engineering.”

Leanne Thomas, Relationship Fundraising Manager – South West at Macmillan Cancer Support, commented:
“The Truro Classic Car Show is a wonderful event that brings the community together whilst supporting the vital work of Macmillan Cancer Support, helping us ensure no one has to face cancer alone, wherever or whoever they are. We are proud and excited to be involved for a third year.”
