New in the Seventies, now a BVAC Classic! To celebrate 50 years of the BVAC Classic, this year’s event will have a distinctly Seventies theme at Thirlestane Castle on Sunday 8th June and TD9 Radio will be broadcasting live from the event 2-5pm.
Described as ‘the Best Classic Car Festival in Scotland’, 2025 marks the running of the 50th BVAC Classic Festival of Motoring event. And to celebrate this incredible milestone, iconic cars which were all brand new in the Seventies, now take centre stage at the BVAC Classic themselves!
To give you a flavour of what will be on display at the event, here are just some of the lovely cars that were on garage forecourts in the decade when the show first began. From a Ford Capri and a Triumph Stag to a Jaguar XJS and an MGB Roadster, not forgetting the VW Camper. All very much cars of the Seventies.
50 Years of the BVAC Classic will be the central theme of this year’s show, but more than 1,000 vintage and classic vehicles of all shapes and sizes will be making their way to Thirlestane Castle in Lauder.
The organisers are encouraging people to really get into the Seventies theme by digging out their flares on the 8th of June, with exciting prizes for the best dressed in 1970’s style. And with so much to explore and enjoy throughout the region, a weekend might not be long enough!
