Coming soon - a great year of classic car events and shows


A SUMMER of spectacular motoring moments is just a few months away!

There's an astounding array of events already being organised for 2011, and Life On Cars is looking to bring you details of all the best shows not only in Sefton and West Lancashire, but further afield as well.

In all cases it's advised to get in touch with the organisers sooner rather than later, as popular events get fully booked quicker than you might you think!

Here are a just a few of the many events being planned for later this year: There's an astounding array of events already being organised for 2011, and Life On Cars is looking to bring you details of all the best shows not only in Sefton and West Lancashire, but further afield as well.
