"With perfect weather, enthusiastic exhibitors and a happy crowd, the day couldn’t have gone better. It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces throughout the day, and we’ve been blown away by the kind feedback we’ve received.

"We are thrilled to announce that this year’s show raised a significant sum for Naomi House and Jacksplace."

Over the past 16 years, the event has raised more than £163,000 for the hospices.

The 2025 show featured a wide range of attractions, including police cars, NASCAR race cars, and the Mystery Machine from Scooby-Doo.

Visitors also enjoyed an F1 simulator, supplied free of charge by Silverlake Garage.

Mr Heard added: "None of this would’ve been possible without the incredible support of our show committee, volunteer marshals, exhibitors, traders, visitors, our generous sponsor, Pangea Insurance Brokers, and many others who contributed to making the day so special.

"We are already looking ahead to next year’s event and hope many will join us once again for what promises to be another fantastic day."

Special guests at the event included TV presenter and former F1 driver Tiff Needell, and former Mayor of Eastleigh, Councillor David Pragnell.

Charity raffles offered visitors the chance to win a passenger ride in a BMW M2 around Thruxton Circuit, donated by Mr Needell, and a ride in a Pagani Huayra Roadster, donated by Sporting Bears Dream Rides.

Katie Wilson, head of fundraising at Naomi House and Jacksplace, said: "Thank you so much to the incredible Concorde Classics Car Show Committee, as well as the show volunteers, traders, exhibitors, sponsors and of course, everyone who bought tickets and attended.

"The Committee work tirelessly, year-round, to pull off this event, giving the local community a very special day out that is a staple event in many people’s annual calendars.

"The show has made a difference to the children, young adults and families in our care for over 16 years now, with this year’s show raising enough to fund over 500 hours of expert nursing care at our hospices."

The 2026 show will be held on Sunday, September 20.
