Anything moto/auto around here are really badly advertised - you tend to just stumble across something by chance! I know there are a couple of great car fanatics on here. Would you have any advice as to what buzz words to use in a search to route out any events that may be in a certain vicinity?

"Rallye" seems too broad.

@ Bayleaf,

What about:

voitures anciennes événements expositions + your region

and many others.

I can tell you that there is a montée historique at Eymet Rouquette next Sunday as I shall be there.

It's the first time this has been run there, so I can't comment on it.
I'm just sorting out brake failure that occurred recently so hope all will be well. I will bring a different car if I'm not happy.
May see you there?

Brilliant! Thank you!!

Eymet might be a little beyond our radius, but there are certainly others there that are do-able!

Jus a bit to the north of you there is an active group who advertise through Facebook. There next meet is on Wednesday evening in Champagne Mouton.

Their Facebook page advertises events throughout SW France.

A combined moto / auto event, many, many years ago. This museum closed its doors in 2010, a pity.

That’s a shame.

Indeed.

I think I've found a couple nearish to us in the next few weeks. It's mainly for 22yr old son to get to, to satisfy his love of classic cars. Hopefully members can carry on putting up any events on here. Thanks again...
