Why Exhibit?
Regardless of company size, face-to-face marketing is the most powerful way to collect qualified leads, drive sales and build relationships with new and existing customers.
In an increasingly competitive market, exhibitions allow companies to mark themselves ahead of their competition through a highly personal approach.
If you offer products or services to the motorsport market then exhibiting at Race Retro will help you achieve significant sales, orders and business right at the start of the new racing season.

This is a ready built stand for you to simply 'move in' and furnish with your branding and products. It includes floor space, carpet, walls and name fascia.

This is exactly how it sounds, only floor space. It often suits those who prefer to build their entire stand from the ground up. The mininum stand size available is 6sqm (e.g 3m x 2m or 4m x 1.5m).
Autojumble
The autojumble is extremely important to this market. Autojumbles up and down the country keep the trade in rare old parts, books, manuals, badges (and a myriad of other items) going. This area is always thriving, always delivers superb sales for our regular 'jumblers' and sells out early!
Autojumble from £170.00 + vat (4m x 2m Space Only stand)
Classic Trader Village
The Classic Trader Village/Small Business area is designed as a budget option for small traders offering new classic motoring based products. Like the autojumble this is a market-style area, but presents a superb opportunity for smaller companies.
