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 local membership has a strong affection for cars produced in the area, with many of our members personally connected to the industry.

There are two monthly social meets in the West Midlands area – our long established pub meet at Coventry and our popular Whitchurch meet in the north west of the region.

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 NEC in Birmingham hosts the Practical Classics  Restoration Show and Classic Motor Show 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.
