Truro Classic Car Show 2025

We brought the third Truro Classic Car Show back to the city on Sunday 6 July, which gave car lovers a unique opportunity to see a wide variety of cherished classic and vintage vehicles in a city centre location.

This year vintage cars, vans, and motorcycles were showcased across the city on Lemon Quay, Lemon St, Boscawen St, St Nicholas St, High Cross, and Pydar St. Along with the vintage vehicles, residents and visitors browsed automobilia stalls and enjoyed live music. We worked with Cornwall Council so that a special shuttle Park and Ride service could operate from the Tregurra site (by Waitrose) to the city centre.

We were delighted to see so many residents and visitors enjoying the much-loved vehicles on display across the city. A big thank you to all the exhibitors who brought their vehicles to show, our sponsor Coodes Solicitors, along with everyone who came along to the show and visited the shops, eateries, and pubs.

The Truro Classic Car Show was brought to the city by Truro BID, sponsored by Coodes Solicitors and Macmillan Cancer Support were fundraising. The Truro Classic Car Show will be back in 2026 and details about how to register to exhibit will be posted on www.trurobid.co.uk early next year.
