    The Warren golf club does one - next one is the 26th May. I've never been mind, but their proper car show is a great day.

      Hi Madhi,

      We sometimes go to a monthly event with the Coupe - its called the Black Swan Classic Cars and Bikes https://www.facebook.com/blackswanclassics/

      It's on every second Sunday of the month from about 8am and it is best to get there early as it gets quite busy. Good selection of cars... modern classics, older classics, smattering of supercars, Americans, few bikes - nice atmosphere.

      We may go to the June one but that will rather depend on how the preceding Saturday goes - Sister in law and husband are visiting and that usually means excessive alcohol consumption

      Cheers

        There are 'official' Cars and Coffee in the UK by the looks of it: https://cars.coffee/united-kingdom

        There are a couple of links on that page to contact a couple of UK based organisers.

        Also a Cheshire based group looking to achieve the same it seems: https://www.carsandcoffeecheshire.co.uk/

          There's also the Malthouse Motor Meet near Stroud, search on facebook. It used to be called cars and coffee until a threatening email cam through...

          Also Caffeine and Machine which is constantly turning over at the weekend

              Thanks for the info. My M Coupe arrives in the UK on the 3rd of June and I'm pretty sure it will take like 2 weeks before it clears customs, gets inspected, MOT, road tax, etc before I get my hands on it so I won't be able to go until the July one...

                          An understatement....I looked on Google maps that same day...wow. Yeah, nah, I'm thinking 2-2.5 hour drive is the longest I would do. Still trying to work on logistics for Silverstone at the end of July.

                            Thanks for trying though...There are a lot of car shows here in Brighton by the way. There was the Ace Cafe one a last month and a 'MINI' show like two weekends ago. There was even one for the 'Historical Commercial Vehicles Society' that was actually pretty cool...such weird vehicles.

                            Wish my car was here for the ACE one, but hopefully it will arrive June 3 and I will be out and about in late June (I am assuming there are a lot of bureaucratic steps involved given its US Spec and LHD)
