ABSTRACT
Heritage tourism takes many forms. Despite the growing awareness that heritage can include almost anything from the past that has a meaning for individuals or groups in the present (cf. Ashworth, 1991), the academic literature still places much emphasis on tourism associated with sites and monuments. There are, however, other forms of heritage that have not been as widely studied. One such area is ‘historic motor vehicle event tourism’, in which individuals and groups travel to take part as participants, competitors or spectators in events focused on heritage vehicles. 1 This gives rise to the interesting phenomenon of both the heritage and the tourists being mobile.
