Riviera Classic Car Show
On 27th July 2025
The display of fabulous vehicles is complemented by stage entertainment through the day, food outlets, a craft marquee and licensed bar. This is a unique event which has developed its own very special relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Such is its popularity that exhibitors bring their vehicles from over much of England, and bookings for spaces are full months in advance. Some entries are individuals, whilst there are also clubs taking their own stand spaces. The range of vehicles is quite something to behold! There are a few rare examples from the early part of the 1900s, lots of classics from the 50s to 70s or even a bit later. There’s also a sprinkling of modern customs and supercars, commercial vehicles, scooters and motorbikes.
The show site is right at the heart of one of the most popular and busiest parts of Torbay and is always enjoyed by families on holiday as well as locals who make a point of visiting every year. With so much to see and do, it’s a great day out for all the family.
Reviews
- Sunny days - The river cruise was a delight, such a fun and knowledgeable crew member giving the commentary, really is a must if visiting the area.
- Nostalgic - We included a cruise on our trip and spent an hour on the paddlesteamer (the captain pointing out some interesting features and telling a few stories along the way). This was a very enjoyable day and worth every penny.
- Brilliant! - We had to write to tell you what a thoroughly enjoyable trip we had on your "Steam Train & Cruise". The train was brilliant and the cruise was a revelation. We will be back to experience it again. Thank you.
