#1 E type Car Shows

Post by mxke » Mon Mar 23, 2026 3:16 pm

Hi
We are making a trip to GB in early September and wonder if there are listings for E Type car shows?
Thank you,
Mike

Mike, no strict E Type shows, but the Goodwood Revival might interest you

Thanks Geoff.
Our tickets home have us leaving on the 18th…so unfortunately Goodwood looks like it is out.

Salon Prive at Blenheim Palace 2nd Sept.
Concours D’Elegance at Hampton Court Palace 4th-6th Sept
Autumn Classic at Castle Combe 12th Sept.

Different style of events that I suggest you research and see if any suit your likes and timetable. Maybe combine a bit of British history at the first two as well as seeing some classy cars which might include E Types. The third is a very much a racing event with cars from various eras and types.

Hampton Court!
Family lore is that someone in my Grandmothers family owned it for one day...way back when...financial skullduggery I believe...

Hampton Court is fabulous (both for the cars and the surroundings) - definitely recommend it :thumbsup:

It’s a shame that you couldn’t make the Goodwood Members Meeting in April - although it is not strictly open to non members - but they are having a race on the Saturday 18th April comprising entirely E-Types in the 45 minute two driver Protheroe Cup to celebrate the 65th Anniversary of the launch of the E-type.
Billed by Goodwood as they are aiming “to gather the finest selection of pre-63 racing E-types ever assembled”.
I will be there for the weekend - looking forward to that race and seeing the cars close up in the pits.
We’re over your way in British Columbia in May and June, but unsure yet how far or what direction we’ll be driving from Vancouver on our road trip in the Rockies.
Regards,
Dave

It seems our timing for our UK trip is not conducive for car shows.
You have quite a trip planned through BC and the Rockies! Enjoy! Drop me a note if you are in the Penticton area.
