Retro Truck Show

This is the Retro Truck Show, bringing over 300 trucks from 1971 to 2001 together to make a fantastic display at the British Motor Museum! The show is one of the biggest in the calendar, highlighting some of the top truck manufacturers including DAF, Scania and Volvo. We welcome trucks from countries right across Europe including France, Belgium and the Netherlands. The Retro Truck Show is great for families, and children will have a fantastic time looking around the towering trucks on display. What’s more, tickets to the show also allow entry to the British Motor Museum, which is home to over 400 historic British cars. Inside the Museum, you will also find an Indoor Model Show and trade area. Why not take a look and see if your favourite truck is in the selection of photos, models and brochures. Burgers and ice creams will be available to purchase outside and hot meals, sweet treats and refreshments can be found in the Museum’s Junction 12 Café. The Retro Truck show is not one to miss, but don’t take our word for it, here’s what visitors of previous shows say: - “I have attended the retro show a few times now and each year it has got better!” - “Well presented, exhibits were spaced to allow easy access and the number of people attending meant there was room for everyone, it was lovely, not too busy, not too noisy, and plenty to see.” - “I have been attending the Retro Truck Show for past 10 years, last year I entered my truck.
