COVID-19 "coronavirus" and Events

Well, we are living in uncertain times aren't we?

The list of events we were planning to attend are listed below. However, with an ever shifting status of the virus most early events are cancelled and some are being rescheduled. We will review the events regularly but for the time being assume all cancelled.

Each listing, below, contains a link to the organisers website. It is down to you to confirm whether events are still on but it's safer to assume they aren't and to follow Government advice to stay indoors.

Look after yourselves and hopefully we will meet up on the other side of this in the not too distant future!

Sports cars in the park is a casual gathering of sports/super cars. Its more of a social gathering of like minded car enthusiasts than a traditional car event.

Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show

Birmingham NEC
Nov13

The largest Classic Car and Motorbike show in the world, the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show will be held between 13 Nov and 15 Nov at the NEC in Birmingham.

This particular show is very dear to the hearts of the FTC-GB Club and, should our application for a stand be successful, would be the perfect opportunity to celebrate 50 years of the Ford TC1.

 FTC-GB @ The NEC Show

2020

Unfortunately with the unrelenting march of Covid-19 all events that the FTG-GB were due to attend in 2020 have been cancelled.

This is particularly saddening given that 2020 would have been the perfect opportunity to celebrate 50 years of the Ford TC1.

However, it is not to be. As soon as the 2021 event calendar is published we will, hopefully, be back with some good news.
