Pangbourne Classic Car Show returns for 2024 edition

An annual classic car show is returning this weekend.

The Pangbourne Classic Car Show will be hosting more than 300 vintage, classic and rare cars, scooters and motorbikes in the grounds of Pangbourne College this Saturday (June 1).

Show organiser, Tom Cheney, said: “This fantastic community event is back and bigger than ever.

“The event has grown in popularity and we are expecting in excess of 350 cars to be on display.

“All money made from this year's show will go to local charity, Footsteps Foundation, which supports children with neurological issues, as well as the Pangbourne College Community Fund.

“This aims to support projects, activities or events in the local area which will enrich educational opportunities for children and young adults.

“We are thrilled to announce this year we have partnered with the Fine Car Company, who will be holding a 40 car auction at the show this year and will be donating a portion of the proceeds from the sales to our charities, which is fantastic.”

The show is backed by local businesses such as Aston Martin Reading and Lamborghini Pangbourne, who have always brought a selection of new cars for spectators to view and sit inside.

Kingdom Coffee will also be supporting, providing refreshments and cream teas throughout the day, with all profits donated to the charities.

And new this year, the show will be supported by Howden Insurance, Elliott James Consulting and The Fine Car Company.

Pangbourne College pupils involved in the ‘heritage engineering’ programme will also be showcasing the two cars they are currently working on: ‘The Rickman Ranger’ and ‘Bond Equip.’

And Sporting Bears will be offering passenger rides in classic cars for a minimum donation towards the Footsteps Foundation.

The event is open to the whole community to enjoy.

Food and drink will be available to buy on site, and visitors are also welcome to bring their own picnic and listen to a live band play.

The event will be running from 10am until 4pm.

Spectator tickets can be purchased in advance or on the day for £10 per car.
