Still Motoring Issue 1/2026

Still Motoring’s first‑half 2026 edition captures six months of pure petrol‑soaked joy across Northern Ireland, charting the classic‑car calendar from winter warm‑ups to full‑tilt summer showstoppers. This issue follows the machines, the people, and the unmistakable NI humour that makes our scene one of the most vibrant anywhere.

From the sprawling fields of Kilbroney, where thousands of enthusiasts descended on Rostrevor for one of the biggest classic gatherings in Ireland, to the surreal spectacle of Stormont, where the iconic Parliament Buildings became the backdrop for a record‑breaking DeLorean turnout, the magazine dives deep into the cars and characters that defined the season.

We head west to Omagh, where local clubs brought out everything from concours saloons to rally‑bred heroes, proving once again that Tyrone doesn’t do things by halves. Then it’s over to the sun‑baked lawns of Montalto, where Heritage & Horsepower delivered a relaxed, high‑class summer showcase filled with chrome, coffee, and cars that looked ready for a photoshoot even before the cameras came out.

Across these pages you’ll find standout machines, owner stories, event highlights, and the unmistakable Still Motoring tone — sharp, witty, and proudly obsessed with anything that burns fuel and makes noise. January to June 2026 wasn’t just busy; it was a masterclass in what makes the NI classic‑car community special.
