This weekend’s 2021 NEC Classic Motor Show will see the launch of the UK’s newest dedicated classic car club.
Intended to welcome enthusiasts from across the motoring spectrum, the Great British Car Club will major on celebrating diversity.
The club has been started by Richard Usher, founder and CEO of the Great British Car Journey attraction in Ambergate, Derbyshire.
Richard explains: “Having been a member of numerous clubs, I have noticed that younger enthusiasts and even oldies like me, have become less fixated on a single make.
“Enthusiasm for old cars now covers a very broad spectrum of makes and models and I wanted to create a club which represented this.
“There are hundreds of excellent car clubs who are doing a great job encouraging interest in and the use of old cars, but we have the luxury of facilities at Great British Car Journey, which we can put at our members’ disposal.”
Membership of the Great British Car Club will start at £31 per year.
This will entitle members to unlimited free visits to the Great British Car Journey museum, along with invitations to other special events.
Newsletters, online forums, and discounts on classic car products are all envisaged, too.
Mike Flewitt, the former CEO of McLaren Automotive, has been announced as the Honorary President of Great British Car Club.
Those interested in joining the club will find it on stand 5-320, within the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs (FBHVC) village at the NEC Classic Motor Show.
On the Great British Car Club’s stand at the NEC will be a McLaren 650S. This will be joined by a rare 1905 Arrol-Johnston Dogcart.
