About Us

Welcome to the BVPG wesite. Over recent years we've gone from strength to strength with more members and immensely popular events with hundreds of vehicles on show and huge visitors numbers.

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, you can see our current committee members on the left and details for those who you may need to contact are listed below (see our Contact section).

If you have any questions about our group, please do not hesitate to call our Chairperson, Bill Swindlehurst.
