The Stratford Festival of Motoring is now a well established annual event, combining the historic architecture and lively spirit of Stratford upon Avon, most famous for its connection with William Shakespeare, with the West Midlands area’s long established love affair with all things cars. It took place over two days of the ‘Spring Bank Holiday’ 2016, showing an eclectic array of stunning cars, old and new.

The Goodwood Revival: a three-day festival held each September at Goodwood Circuit since 1998 for the types of road racing cars and motorcycle that would have competed during the circuit's original period—1948–1966. Most people dress in period clothes. It is one of the world's most popular motor race meetings and the only UK event which recreates the golden era of motor sport from the 1950s and 1960s. A must!

I am not a natural flatterer, I like to think that I "tell it like it is", politely I hope. So when I tell you that I am very impressed by the contents of your website, it is just not English politeness. I of course love the subject matter but you deal with it in an energetic and respectful manner. I am overwhelmed by the research that has gone into compiling the list of coachbuilders/bodybuilders for Europe and North America. I have never heard of the vast majority of them.
Congratulations on an excellent website.
