| Announcement by Kelsey Media |

With regret, Best of British is being postponed until 2024. Originally planned for September 3, 2023, the event will now take place on Saturday, April 27 at Turvey House, Bedfordshire.

While there were great features already lined up for this year’s inaugural event, we were not satisfied that we’d created a show of sufficient content and quality to live up to the Classics World brand.

We will therefore continue working on the 2024 event, striving to stage a fun-filled car show, celebrating the best in British Motoring. Aside from a wide variety of classic and iconic cars, there will also be themed displays, car clubs, music and other entertainment, pride of ownership competition and lots more.

Supported by Kelsey’s diverse motoring portfolio, including Classic Car Buyer, Classics Monthly, Classics World, Future Classics, Jaguar World, Classic Jaguar, Rolls Royce & Bentley Driver, Aston Martin Driver, MiniWorld and MG Enthusiast, the Best of British Event is sure to be one to remember!

We’re also delighted to announce that the weekend will also include Porsche in the Park on Sunday, April 28. A separate event that will add an extra element for those petrolheads and Porsche marque enthusiasts. Tickets for entry to both events will be available for you to enjoy the ultimate weekend of British Motoring.

Existing ticketholders will be able to redeem their passes against the 2024 Best of British event.
