The Long Buckby Vintage and Classic Vehicle Meet returns to the NEC with an eclectic mix of vehicles that perfectly captures the best of both worlds — from pre-war luxury to everyday classics.

On display:

• 1927 Rolls-Royce Cockshoot Saloon – Believed to be the only six-light saloon bodied by Cockshoot, this rare example features the ingenious Barker headlight dipping system. Supplied new to Mr. Albert Hartley as an owner/driver saloon, it includes unique adaptations such as a removable nearside centre post and tilting passenger seat to aid accessibility — remarkable engineering foresight for its era.

• Citroën 2CV Van in authentic Michelin livery – a cheerful tribute to one of motoring’s most iconic utility vehicles.

• Brown MGB with an eye-catching original orange interior – a period-perfect blend of classic British style and 1970s flair.

• Triumph Acclaim – the final car to wear the Triumph badge and a symbol of the 1980s collaboration between British Leyland and Honda.

Together, the Rolls-Royce Cockshoot and Triumph Acclaim, both finished in green and separated by more than 50 years of motoring progress, beautifully illustrate the show’s theme — the best of both worlds, showcasing how British motoring evolved from aristocratic craftsmanship to dependable modern design.
