With the North York Moors, North East Coast, Westmorland and Cumberland on our doorstep, it's little wonder that we are blessed with a great choice of annual classic car driving events. The XK140 with no shortage of BHP, torque and great handling, makes an ideal entrant.

The Beamish Reliability Run

First run in 1956. 150 miles of Durham and Yorkshire's mostly unlisted roads, starting and finishing at the Beamish open air museum.

The Eskdale Road Safety Trial

A full day over the moors and through the Esk Valley, with a lunch stop at Grosmont.

Saltburn hill climb

Saltburn has a motorsport tradition going back to speed trials on the sands in 1904. More of a social event now than a contest.

Harewood hill climb

Glorious surroundings, red kites overhead, and bleak when it is wet and windy.
