Crieff is to once again play host to the finale of this year’s Perthshire Classic Car Tour.

Taking place on Sunday, April 21, more than 100 vintage, classic and prestige cars are set to take part in an event designed to raised much-needed funds for eating disorder charity Beat and the MS Society Scotland.

Organised by the Rotary Club of Perth, drivers will take a spectacular route between Perth’s McDiarmid Park, along Loch Tay and then up to Ballachulish.

After lunch the tour will go back through Glencoe, then south along the top of Loch Awe and will finish at Crieff Hydro Hotel for an end -of-tour dinner and awards ceremony.

Each leg of the journey is 100 miles and is billed as a great opportunity for classic car lovers – drivers, passengers and spectators alike – to join in.

Rotarians are organising the rally with the support of main sponsor John Clark Motor Group and raised £30,000 for charity last year.

Ahead of this year’s event Anna Page, a community fundraising officer with Beat, said: “We’re incredibly grateful to the Rotary Club of Perth for choosing to raise awareness of eating disorders.

“The rally is going to be an exciting day and we hope that everybody enjoys soaking up the incredible Perthshire views.

“In 2023, Public Health Scotland reported that disordered eating symptoms increased by over a quarter in the last five years and, sadly, we know that eating disorder support is needed more today than ever before.

“The funds raised by the car tour will help us to keep providing phone calls, webchat and online group support to people with eating disorders as well as their loved ones.”

Morna Simpkins, a director of MS Society Scotland, said: “We would like to say a huge thank you to the Rotary Club of Perth and, in particular, the organisers of this year’s Perthshire Classic Car Tour for choosing to support us.

“More than 15,000 people in Scotland live with Multiple Sclerosis and, every week, 14 new people receive an MS diagnosis.

“MS is a condition that affects the brain and spinal cord, which impacts how people move, think and feel. Symptoms are different for everybody and often invisible.

“The MS Society Scotland is here to make life better for people affected by MS. We offer emotional support and information via our MS helpline, and provide online webinars, courses and sessions through our LivingWell programme. We campaign to improve the rights of people with MS and their carers, and fund ground-breaking research.

“It’s thanks to our wonderful and generous supporters, such as the Rotary Club of Perth, that we’re able to continue this vital work. We hope everyone has a fantastic time on the tour and raises lots of funds and awareness for both charities.’

Joe Cairns is chair of the Perthshire Classic Car Tour committee and said: “We know that eating disorders and MS impact so many people – not just those who are currently unwell, but also their family and friends.

“We’ve heard good things about the incredible work that Beat and the MS Society Scotland do and we felt compelled to raise funds for them.”

Perth Classic Car Show

We are thrilled to be asked to bring a sprinkle of The Vintage Collective Markets to this event, May 1st at Ascot Racecourse.

The 2022 Perth Classic Car Show is on 1st May at Ascot Raceway, proudly sponsored by @Shannons Insurance

This is a licenced event and ticketed. We will have carnival rides, side show alley and pin up parade.

Website https://www.classiccarshow.com.au/

This event runs 10am to 3pm.

History of this event.

In 1969 five British motoring clubs came together in King's Park, Perth to put on a combined display. 60 cars attended. The event was so successful that it was repeated again the following year, with more clubs attending. The event continued to grow until by the mid-1970s several hundred cars were attending. The coordination of a multi-club car show led to the formation of a coordinating body - the Combined Car Clubs (CMC).

The CMC has subsequently grown to become a representative body that liaises with government and the community on matters that affect the classic motoring community and the Classic Car Show has become THE major event on the motoring calendar. The show draws around 1000 vehicles of all types, representing the diversity and vibrancy of Perth's motoring community.

VCM Perth Events are a fully insured and Covid19 compliant business. Accessibility and inclusive events

Food trucks, market stalls, community groups. All together in a stunning location! VCM Perth Events look forward to seeing you there!

Perthshire Classic Car Tour gets the Royal treatment

HRH The Duke of Kent and HRH Prince Michael of Kent attended the Perthshire Classic Car Tour during a visit to the area.

Stephen Leckie, Lord-Lieutenant of Perth and Kinross, accompanied The Duke in an Aston Martin DB6 Mk2, while his wife, Fiona Leckie, accompanied Prince Michael in a Sunbeam Alpine Roadster.

The Duke officially started Drive It Day, leading the convoy from Perth towards Loch Tay. 

Stephen Leckie said: “I have been a collector of classic cars for many years and relished the opportunity to accompany HRH The Duke and HRH Prince Michael to this fantastic local event in my role as Lord-Lieutenant, which is also a passion of mine.

“The tour route showcases some of the spectacular scenery we are so lucky to enjoy in Scotland. The Duke and Prince Michael were wonderful guests.”

The event, which is organised by the Rotary Clubs of Perth and includes Crieff Hydro Family of Hotels as one of its sponsors, saw around 100 classic cars take part. The main convoy stopped for lunch at Isles of Glencoe hotel before arriving at Crieff Hydro Hotel for a dinner and awards ceremony.
