About Us
Welcome to the BVPG website. Here at Blackpool Vehicle Preservation Group (BVPG) we are a group of vehicle enthusiasts.
Established
in 1982, we are not just a classic car club, many of us own vehicles other than cars and some do not
own a
vehicle but have a keen interest in the motoring world.
If you share our interest, please come along to a club meeting or event and meet some friendly,
like minded
people, click "Latest News" for forthcoming events.
Each year we have an Annual General Meeting in October, this includes voting in our committee
members for the following 12 months. For more information on the committee members, please see our
Contacts section.
If you have any questions about our group, please do not hesitate to call our Chairperson, Dave Evans.

Our Shows
We hold two shows each year across the Blackpool and Fylde area
which are proving more and more popular year on year
often hundreds of exhibits on display from 1920s to date such as cars, motorbikes and
military vehicles.
Guests and club members are
invited to exhibit their vehicles at the events.
During the shows judges will
make their way around all the exhibits and award points,
resulting in trophies being presented to the worthy winners.
