West Midlands

The GCCG West Midlands region in the heart of the country covers the central West  Midlands conurbation and the surrounding counties of Shropshire, Staffordshire,  Warwickshire, Worcestershire and Herefordshire. As the hub of Britain’s motor industry  past and present, our membership has a strong affection for cars produced in the area and  many of our local members are directly connected to the industry.

There are two monthly social meets in the region – our long established Coventry meet,  principally serving members in the east and south of the region, and our popular  Whitchurch meet attended by members from the north and west of the area (and beyond!).

As well as being the centre of the country’s motor industry, the West Midlands is also  home to many major national car events attended by the GCCG. The Practical Classics  Restoration Show and Classic Motor Show are both hosted at the NEC in the east of  Birmingham on an annual basis, and further south we have the British Motor Museum at  Gaydon where the GCCG attends various events throughout the year.

There is always lots happening in the area so please keep an eye on the calendar for new  events.
