PH25 anniversary party - tickets on sale now!

Here's how to be at PH's biggest event ever this August

---

Remember when PistonHeads was all just fields (of TVRs) and you had to use dial-up to access it? Much has changed since 1998, and in 2023 we’re marking our 25th anniversary to prove it.

As you might’ve heard, we’re celebrating the best cars made over the last 25 years, and we want as many PHers as possible to be part of it. And you can do just that, by joining us at the PistonHeads 25th anniversary party presented by eBay at Bicester Heritage on Saturday 12th August.

Hosted at the historic former WW2 RAF bomber station in Oxfordshire, it's going to be our biggest event ever. Expect the broadest and best hand-picked car displays to date encompassing sports cars, hot hatches, saloons, track cars, supercars and more exotica and rarities. The displays will feature alongside an outdoor cinema to premiere our almighty PH25 finale video, the biggest congregation of our Readers' Cars projects ever, show awards and much more besides.

eBay, Auto Finesse, Charles & Dean, Alfaholics, Caterham Cars, MST Cars, Le Mans Coupe, Revo and Dream Car Giveaways are all among our confirmed exhibitors, with many more to come. Whether you’re a die-hard PHer or simply looking for a fun day out with the kids, this is an event you won’t want to miss.

Early bird tickets are £17.50 per person (plus booking fee) until the end of March, with under 16s going free. Tickets are limited and will only be available in advance, with none for sale at the gate. Buy your tickets by March 17th and you’ll automatically be entered into a draw to win an Auto Finesse Ultimate Car Care Kit, worth £227.95, as well. So move fast!

Browse our dedicated PH25 event page for details on how to apply to display and car and book your tickets here. We can’t wait to see you all there - stay tuned for more exciting updates soon!

I want to bring my baby in my baby and start him on his PH journey, so time to try out the ISOFIX in the Cayman.
In reality I'll probably have to bring something more practical and Mum, but I will be there!

Nosey question but how old is your baby? mine will be just over 1 years old and I am thinking is it time my future wingman went to his first show

Ha... Different garage but same problem.

I'll probably come in the Camel as the Cerbera would have already been on several runs.

It's okay, he's just over 3 months now and pretty alert already. Probably a bit young for a car show to be honest, even by the time we get to August, but he's quite comfortable travelling in the car already and personally I don't think it's ever too early to start them out on the journey. He'll have to get used to it one way or another, poor boy!

My lad went to his first GT race (Donnington) at 9mths and first LeMans 24 at 13mths. He's now 22 and a fully fledged petrol-head, with an interesting car collection of his own (I've booked him a pair of tickets for this event too).

Is it nature or is it nurture?!?
