Cars

Favourites will be returning to Laverstoke Park such as the Hotrods, Supercars, Movie Cars, Race Cars & Crazy Cars.

It’s 135 years since the motor car was invented and you’ll be able to see some of the landmark cars that have been major turning points over the years. From the single-cylinder, three-wheeled 1886 Benz Motorwagen, created by Carl Benz to the latest contemporary supercars, 135 years of motoring is celebrated in style at CarFest.

This year the E-Type Jaguar celebrates it’s 60th birthday – and you can see 60 of the country’s most beautiful E-Types to mark this momentous birthday.
