Truro Classic Car Show 2024

We brought the Truro Classic Car Show back for its second year on Sunday 28 July. This Classic Car Show in Cornwall offered car lovers a unique opportunity to see a wide variety of cherished classic and vintage cars, in a city centre location. For 2024 the Truro Classic Car Show was a much larger event compared to 2023. Along with Lemon Quay, cars were showcased on Lemon Street and on Boscawen Street making Truro City Centre a big attraction for vehicle enthusiasts on a Summer’s Sunday and enabling a wider selection of exhibitors to take part.

As well as experiencing the city brimming with cherished cars, visitors were able to browse automobilia and autojumbles stalls, and enjoy live music. Cars on show included classic and vintage cars and modern classics. New for 2024, there was an opportunity to see new cars, including electric cars from local dealers.

We were delighted with the turn out and it was great 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 and to everyone who came along. Macmillan Cancer Support were fundraising on the day.
