How to Join NECPWA

NECPWA Club Logo
North of England Classic & Pre-War Automobiles (formerly known as The North East Club for Pre-War Austins) was established in 1966. It is now the largest Historic Vehicle Club in the North of England, with 850+ members (as per March 2024).

Membership is open to any enthusiast of old motor vehicles, and it is not necessary to be a vehicle owner to join the club, however attendance at Club organised rallies is generally restricted to vehicles built before September 2001. [NB individual branches and some events nay have different entry rules, some with stricter age limits].
