The Haynes Manual Display
At the heart of the show will be the Haynes Manual Display, showcasing up to 40 cars and motorcycles that have been immortalised in the world-famous Haynes workshop manuals.
The display will symbolise the passion John Haynes had to connect technical with every day, using the Haynes manuals to make the detail of vehicles accessible to everyone. This display will showcase some of the most important and impactful cars that shaped their manuals as well as the stories behind countless DIY repairs and restoration work carried out using a manual.
The curated collection of cars and motorcycles will include a breadth of cars from the decades, from the 1960s to modern day.
The Museum itself will bring some of its cars to make up the Manual display which were actively part of their respective manual creations. These include the 1965 ‘Project 50’ Mustang, which was restored for a Haynes US restoration guide and part of the 50th anniversary of the manuals as well as a 2001 Citroen Saxo Max Power, which was one of the ‘definitive guide to modifying’ manuals.
The display of machines will be a celebration of the interest and joy Haynes Manuals have brought to people around the world.
We need you!
Do you own a car, motorcycle, or machine featured in a Haynes Manual? Or perhaps you have a personal story linked to one?
We’re looking for owners to showcase their vehicles as part of our Haynes Manual Display at the show. Whether it’s an iconic model from our wish list which have been immortalised in a Haynes Manual or a vehicle with its own story to tell from your personal connection to it. Share your memories with us about your vehicle: where it’s travelled or what mechanical challenges you’ve faced.
We’d love to hear from you. Get in touch to be part of the display!
Any successful applications will not only get free entry to the show but also take pride of place in our curated Haynes Manual Display.
