Event Description
Join us to show off your Figaro at the 10th Anniversary Millport Classic Car Show. It’s a wonderful event (even with the early start for the Largs ferry at 7.45 am!)

Loads of fantastic classics will be on display combined with wonderful views across the Clyde.

There is no charge to show your Figaro, however, you will be responsible for your travel costs – the ferry was around £17.50 return for car & driver last year and £3.60 return per passenger.

The Millport Classic Car Event was born out of Jimmy Newton’s love and enthusiasm for old cars. Having visited Classic shows and events for most of his life, Jimmy decided his beautiful island home would make an ideal location for such an event and he decided to start his own. May 2014 was his first event, self-funded with a little help from donations from his family who own local businesses, the event attracted a lovely crowd who enjoyed the 18 cars on display and the parade along the promenade. The car owners enjoyed their time too and were treated to refreshments from Jimmy’s wife, Eleanor. We continue this tradition today with free hot drink vouchers for all car owners at Garrison House Cafe.

Set in the beautiful grounds of the Garrison on Millport’s scenic seafront. The Millport Classic Car event has gone from strength to strength with more fabulous ‘old timers’ on the show every year and a public vote for 1st, 2nd and 3rd placed cars. The show has continued to grow and is now so popular that we have to cap numbers at 150 cars. A beautiful atmosphere is always guaranteed, thanks to the lovely owners who are always so happy to share their compelling stories of restorations – mostly fun, with a few bumps in the road of course and a great deal of commitment and passion. A Millport Classic Car Committee has now been formed and fundraising by our members will help to ensure this family-friendly event continues.
