From roaring traction engines to classic vintage tractors, military vehicles and iconic Land Rovers, Moreton Show has long celebrated the machinery that helped shape the countryside.
This year’s event, taking place on Saturday 5 September 2026, promises another impressive display of vintage vehicles, bringing together enthusiasts, collectors and curious visitors for a nostalgic journey through rural motoring history.
A highlight of the day
For many showgoers, the vintage section is one of the highlights of the day, with rows of lovingly restored vehicles offering a glimpse into farming and transport through the decades. From beautifully preserved Series II 1 Land Rovers and Fordson tractors through to classic motorcycles, stationary engines and working machinery, the displays showcase the craftsmanship and character of a bygone era.
What’s on display
Vintage vehicle exhibits at Moreton Show have included everything from agricultural workhorses and rare military vehicles to gleaming commercial lorries, historic fire engines and quirky classics that spark memories for visitors of all ages. Owners are often on hand throughout the day, sharing stories about restoration projects, rural life and the history behind their vehicles.
As seen on TV
The vintage atmosphere even reached television audiences in October 2025, when Moreton Show featured on the popular TV series Shed & Buried, with vintage Land Rovers linked to the Show appearing as part of the programme. The appearance helped shine a spotlight on the passion, engineering and nostalgia that surrounds Britain’s historic vehicles, adding an “as seen on TV” moment to the Show’s long-running vintage tradition.
Why the vintage section endures
Richard Heath, Show Director at Moreton Show, said: “Vintage vehicles always attract plenty of attention at Moreton Show because they tell such an important story about the countryside and farming history. There’s real affection for these machines and the people who restore and preserve them. Seeing the Show featured on Shed & Buried last year was a fantastic way to celebrate that passion with an even wider audience.”
Whether visitors are lifelong motoring enthusiasts or simply enjoy discovering something different, the vintage vehicle section offers plenty to explore, photograph and talk about throughout the day.
