CLASSIC & HISTORIC MOTOR CLUB
URGENT NEWS! FROM 22ND MARCH 2026, THE C&H MOTOR CLUB WILL BE ACCEPTING CARS AT LEAST 25 YEARS OLD!
SEE MORE ON OUR NEWS PAGE!!
The Classic & Historic Motor Club has existed since 1976 and provides an interesting calendar running from April to October inclusive, covering a wide variety of social and mildly competitive events, allowing members many opportunities to enjoy using their vehicles in good company.
The C&H accepts cars that are at least 25 years old (from the 1st January of the current year).
The club is a member of the Federation of British Historic Vehicles Clubs (FBHVC) and recognised by Motor Sport UK, the club aims to encourage the use and preservation of our vehicles.
Each month members receive a copy of the club magazine (Classix) which provides among other things news of forthcoming events, reports and photos of recently held events.
The club actively promotes events that provide interest for partners too, including regular lunch meet ups and various evening events. Social life continues in the winter with monthly Sunday Lunch gatherings at hostelries across the area, giving members the chance to continue contact and form new friendships. There are also occasional weekends away.
Our membership is drawn from a wide area covering Somerset, Bristol, Bath, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Dorset and Devon.
We have an active social media presence on both Instagram and Facebook.
