Simply Japanese - Sunday 4th August at Beaulieu

Simply Japanese

Following on from the great success of last year’s event, Beaulieu’s Simply Japanese rally will be making a welcome return on Sunday 4th August. Owners of all types of Japanese marque cars can join the event, whatever the age, make and model of vehicle, from Nissan, Honda and Toyota family cars to sporty Suzukis and Mazdas.

Prepare to see some stunning vehicle designs and colourful artwork amongst the hundreds of Japanese marque vehicles on display. Take the opportunity to get chatting with other like-minded enthusiasts, and enjoy a great day out at the Beaulieu attraction. See over 250 vehicles on show in the National Motor Museum, from F1 racers to Land Speed Record Breakers and don’t miss BOND IN MOTION, the world’s largest ever exhibition of original James Bond film vehicles. Whilst Bond is known for his love of the very British manufacturer, Aston Martin, both he and villain, Patrice, rode Honda bikes in the opening chase sequence for the latest Bond film SKYFALL. Their two Honda CRF250R motorcycles are now on display in the exhibition.

Enter World of Top Gear to see genuine vehicles created by presenters Jeremy, Richard and James in their challenges on the BBC television show. You can also enjoy strolling through the beautiful gardens to Palace House, home of the Montagu family since 1538 and 13th century Beaulieu Abbey, or you can explore the grounds by hopping onboard the high-level Monorail or open-topped bus.

As with all Simply Rallies, visitors to Beaulieu on the day of the event will be invited to vote for their favourite vehicle in the People’s Choice Awards. The owner of the winning car will receive a Beaulieu Trophy in an afternoon presentation ceremony and will be given the opportunity to lead a cavalcade of Japanese marque cars through the attraction.
