WHERE TO GO IN NOVEMBER

Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show

When: Friday to Sunday, November 9-11 Where: NEC, Birmingham

What’s going on: The last place you want to be is an outdoor car show in the UK in November, which is why the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show, held firmly indoors at the NEC for many years, is the perfect place to be this month. Tens of thousands of classic car enthusiasts converge on the halls for a long weekend of old-school celebration. Blue Ovals always play a big part thanks to the efforts of the classic Ford clubs, with top displays spanning the entire old Ford spectrum, plus the Pride Of Ownership always features a stunning Ford or three in its line-up. Check out the cars, buy spares, tools and consumables or spot motoring celebs — it’s all here. Find out more: www.necclassicmotorshow.com
