Seven Decades of Motorsport

Europe’s premier winter show for historic motorsport is back, with a whole host of fresh attractions for 2006. The Third International Historic Motorsport Show at Stoneleigh Park, Coventry (24-26 February 2006), promises live action, combined with the spectacle of 450 displays throughout the venue’s four main halls – capturing the thrills and nostalgia of 70 years of motorsport.

Included in the 2006 ticket price is access to the Show’s four live events…

Group B rally car stage
Indoor classic motorcycle trial
Championship-level autotests
Historic kart racing
…making it an unmissable day out for the whole family.

But whatever your area of interest, there’s plenty to entertain the Show’s expected 20,000 visitors. From historic racing, rallying, and hillclimbs, through drag-racing, trials and classic motorcycles, to classic car and motorcycle books and an autojumble, visitors can’t help but be swept up by the excitement of this unique event.

Newcomers to the historic world can explore all aspects of this affordable and fast-growing sport, while experienced enthusiasts can mix with the competitors, series organisers, race preparers and engineers to share the latest news. Not to mention the famous names from motorsport who come to the Show – several of them actually competing in the live events!

In this, its third year, the IHMS is recognised across the industry as THE historic motorsport show. By mid-October, 90% of the exhibitor space in the main racing car hall has already been booked, while auction-house Bonhams has announced the Show as the chosen venue for a major sale of classic and historic cars and motorcycles.

Don’t miss out on the chance to experience seven decades of motorsport at one action-packed, three-day show. In the words of Sir Stirling Moss OBE, "It’s the best show I have ever been to."
