Footman James 33rd Classic Car Show - 21/22 April 2012
The Footman James 33rd Bristol Classic Car Show is quoted as "the longest running and friendliest classic car show in the UK" and takes place on Saturday and Sunday 21/22 April 2012. The event will again coincide with "Drive It Day" on the Sunday and the organisers are already working with the Register and other car clubs to arrange runs to meet and park up at the event. This year over 900 cars each day parked adjacent to the halls in the classic car parking area. It was a fantastic display and the organisers believe it was possibly the largest of its type in the country!
At the 2012 event, there will be over 70 club displays indoors and 150 trade stands and stalls throughout the 6 halls with a large auction run at the show by Charterhouse of Sherborne featuring Classic cars, bikes automobilia and memorabilia.

Most Recent Event
Footman James 11th Classic Vehicle Restoration Show - 5/6 November 2011
This was the first time the Register had put on a stand at the Footman Annual Classic Restoration Show held at the Royal Bath and West Showground. Many members and visitors were welcomed to the Wolseley Register stand. The exhibit was a 1934 Wolseley 9hp which is having a lightweight aluminium body specially designed and constructed for it by Register member, Barnes Hummerstone. Barnes is immensely proud of his work and was on hand all week-end to answer the many queries from admiring visitors to the stand.
Thanks to Bristol Classic Car Show Ltd. for inviting us and putting on such a magnificent show. A stand will be staged at the 2012 event.
