British Car Week is an annual event that has been dedicated to maintaining awareness of the classic British car hobby throughout the World.

For each British car driving down the road, there will be hundreds of observers who will take notice of your unique, fun-filled vehicle. As a result, this will create awareness and help support all good things associated with the British car hobby.
