    Europe's premier winter show for historic motor sport is back, at the same venue – Stoneleigh Park, near Coventry (England) – but with a new date: 23rd-25th March, 2007.

    The new date, a full month later than previous shows, offers the promise of better weather and longer daylight hours.

    The 4th International Historic Motor Sport Show will combine live action events with over 450 exhibitors and feature displays in the venue's four main halls – capturing the thrills and nostalgia of over 70 years of racing, rallying and motorcycles in a classic motorsport festival weekend.

    Now in its fourth year, this show is recognised across the industry as THE historic motor sport show for the competitor or enthusiast, and an excellent day out for families to experience a breathtaking collection of cars and bikes from the 1930s to the 1990s.

    As always, there will be plenty to entertain the show's expected 20,000 visitors. Outdoors, there will be an active rally stage and kart racing in the park; indoor activities will include live autotests, plus a classic motorcycle trial, complete with mud and rocks!

    All motor sport disciplines will be represented, on two and four wheels – track racing, speed events, rallies, hillclimbs, trials and autograss will all be included.

    Historic and classic event organisers from across Europe will be supported by engineering, car preparation and accessory companies, displaying the best examples of cars and bikes available. There will be a major auction on site, along with the annual Historic Motor Sport Awards, while private car sales are catered for, along with artists, memorabilia, book sellers, models and the motor sport autojumble.
