The John Haynes Classic

The Haynes Motor Museum will host its first large-scale classic car show in September 2025. 

Named after John Haynes, the founder of the eponymous series of car manuals, it will celebrate DiY mechanics with curated displays of cars and ’bikes.

There will also be the Car Club Arena, with hundreds of classics on show; the Live Show Paddock for parades, live music and more; and the Discovery Zone, which will host live workshops.

The event marks the museum’s 40th anniversary, too.
