Classic Motor Show 2023

Castrol Classic Oils are at the NEC 10-12th November supporting our friends from the National Motor Museum and their Sunbeam 1000hp Restoration Campaign. The restoration project aims to recommission Sir Henry Segrave’s Sunbeam Slug - the first car to break the 200mph barrier - and return to Daytona Beach in 2027 for the 100 year anniversary of Sir Henry’s achievement.

The car itself is on display, alongside Sir Malcolm Campbell’s legendary Sunbeam 350hp Blue Bird. Head over to the stand to see these incredible record-breaking cars in the metal, and learn more about the men and machines of the golden era of the landspeed record. Castrol was the lubrication of choice for these pioneering vehicles, with Charles Wakefield providing sponsorship and support to the drivers. And if you too want to support the Slug, or would like to find out about the educational opportunities for your school, college or university, then the team from the National Motor Museum will be happy to discuss how you can be involved with the project. You too can be a part of something extraordinary - support the Slug!
