Isle of Wight Classic Motor Show: Newport is based at Newport on Saturday 12 September. Set aside 6 hours; the published start is 10:00 and the finish 16:00.
Historic cars and other classic vehicles gather in Newport for a free Saturday display. The town-centre format lets enthusiasts inspect the vehicles while partners or children dip in and out around the day's normal plans. The open town setting lets enthusiasts spend time on the engineering while companions move between the vehicles, shops and lunch. You can visit for one favourite marque or stay as the display changes around you. The central Newport setting gives the event a practical weekday shape. You can reach the town from across the Island, meet in familiar streets and make the activity the main point of the visit.
Entry is free and no advance booking is listed. The display runs from 10:00 to 16:00, but you do not need to stay for all six hours. Town-centre roads and vehicle movements may affect where exhibits sit, so use the organiser’s current plan on the day. Browse heritage events for other mechanical and local-history ideas. Newport is the Saturday half of the show; the Sunday display moves to Ryde, giving enthusiasts a second location rather than repeating the same town-centre backdrop.
