2020 was a year to forget for the classic car event industry. Yes, there was a hint of what could’ve been with Goodwood’s depleted yet heartening Revival, but classic car fans will be hoping for many more events in 2021.

Below, we’ve assembled some unmissable upcoming classic car events for you to put in your diary.
