Mega Wheels Classic Car Show

Tipped to be the biggest and best car show ever seen on the Isle of Wight, the first ever Mega Wheels Classic Car Show will be taking place on the weekend of the 28th and 29th April.

Get yourself along to the Garlic Festival Site in Newchurch to be blown away by what looks set to be a huge two-day gathering of vintage and classic vehicles; many of which will be provided for display by local and mainland car clubs including Jaguar, Ford, Austin, BMC, Aston Martin, Jensen, MG and not to mention individual motor enthusiasts too!

Vintage buses and lorries, steam vehicles, tractors, Island cranes, electric bikes, police cars, fire engines and even the military – everything imaginable on wheels will be present at the Mega Wheels Classic Car Show which, it is hoped, will become an established annual event and permanent fixture of the Island’s social calendar from here on in.

New and Used Car Sales

Even if you don’t own a car that you would like to show, you will still want to ensure that this event is on your list of things to see and do for this month, as the Isle of Wight Mega Wheels Classic Car Show is also a unique sales opportunity for members of the public who may have a car they wish to sell, or indeed, for those of you who are thinking of purchasing a new vehicle!

To bring a car onto the site to sell, it will cost just £20 for the entire weekend. The event is open to new and used cars, vans and campervans. Show space is understandably limited so please contact the organisers urgently on 07933 284184 for booking and invoice details.

Something for Everyone!

There is also plenty of scope for Island traders to apply for a stand at the event; already confirmed are several food stalls, ice cream, fun fair rides and children’s entertainment.

The event, which has been organised by the Garlic Festival Ltd in conjunction with Isle of Wight Radio, will be broadcast live across the Island’s airwaves throughout the duration of the weekend. The tank museum will also be present, as will be Harley Davidson Motor Cycles, classic motorcycles, ITS diggers, the Classic Hearse Register RS Owners Club, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Saint Volvo, Rolls Royce and Daimler. Further to this there will be sideshows and an autojumble taking place, plus Westridge Golf Centre will be running a Golf Challenge.

Admission to the event, which is supported by Southern Vectis and the IOW Bus Museum, will be just £5 for adults and £2 for children. For additional information or if you would like to become involved in the Mega Wheels Classic Car Show please email admin@iwradio.co.uk or telephone 07933 284184.

Cruise the Wight

It is worth noting that volunteers from the Earl Mountbatten Hospice will be present at the Mega Wheels and Classic Car Show to take the details of those car owners interested in registering to take part in an all-new fundraising event, which is scheduled to take place in September.

In addition to the now well-established Walk the Wight, Cycle the Wight and Sail the Wight, ‘Cruise the Wight’ will see a host of classic cars take to the Island’s roads to raise money for the hospice. Make sure you sign up over the weekend of the 28th and 29th April to take part!
