An exclusive round up of the events you really do need to attend!
It’s that time of the year when car clubs come together for their biggest events of the season – their national day or weekend. And many of these are open to all enthusiasts to show their own classic, regardless of what badge it wears.

Wayne Scott of the TR Register (tr-register.co.uk) told PC: ‘Our International Weekend should be the biggest gathering of Triumphs in the world as we’ve teamed up with Club Triumph and Pistons in the Park (pistonsinthepark. co.uk) to create the Standard Triumph Marque Weekend.’
How about Shelsley Walsh on July 28-29? That’s when the Triumph Sports Six Club
