• Coventry Festival of Motoring has taken place ‘almost’ every year for over 25 years – though it has had several names throughout that time.

• The Festival has always been held on the first Sunday in September, at Coventry’s War Memorial Park.

• The flagship element of the event is a 60 mile ‘historic vehicle run’ through the Warwickshire countryside.

• Around 600 participants and their cars, buses and motorbikes on the historic vehicle run

• Over 20,000 visitors who come to the park to enjoy a Sunday of family entertainment and to welcome the participants back to the park on their return
