What began on a very small scale in 1978/79 has now developed into a major event that attracts around 1500 vehicles in good weather. This event has been taking place at Mollis airfield for a quarter of a century. In 2024, the meeting will once again offer a cross-section of many decades of British automobile construction. However, it is not just cars that attract interest, but also stands with automobilia, specialist books, spare parts and club presentations. Of course, there is also an opportunity for extensive petrolhead discussions.

Special guests in the Rootes Group

This year's special guest is not just one brand, but six of them, which were combined in the Rootes Group. They then sailed under the Chrysler UK banner in the 1970s, and at the end of the 1970s PSA took over the group, from which the last remaining products were offered as Talbot.

All owners of a three- or four-wheeled vehicle with an English brand name are very welcome at the BCM. The organizers are especially calling on owners of large-series English vehicles to take their rarities out of the garage and give them a taste of Mollis. For visitors without "English" cars, parking spaces are available outside the meeting area.
