Practical Classics Restoration Show 2023 Round Up

It was a weekend of classic car bliss at the Practical Classics Restoration Show 2023! Every year thousands of classic car enthusiasts gather to celebrate, marvel at, and restore some of the finest automotive engineering from years gone by. This past March witnessed yet another splendid gathering as restoration fanatics returned to Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre to revel in a vast display of classic and vintage vehicles, including plenty of inspiring tales from owners whose passion often drove their restoration projects beyond what many thought possible—and we were right there with them!

Abbeyfields Insurance returned for our second year at the classic car restoration show, fuelling discussion and offering competitive quotes on tailored classic car insurance and multi-car insurance packages.

What the show had to offer

If you missed the event this year, here's what the show had to offer; there were many classic cars on display and our stand was located directly next to the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang replica car which attracted hundreds of visitors and plenty of selfies with the magnificent car! Also on show were other beautiful completed classic cars, a classic car auction, many vehicles and projects going through various stages of their journey demonstrating restoration skills and also practical workshops to give advice and plenty of exhibitors and product suppliers to help you finish a restoration project.
