As part of the 100th anniversary celebrations of Sir Henry Segrave breaking the world land speed record in Southport, people will be able to enjoy a special event in Southport this Sunday (15th March 2026).
The star of the show will be Sir Henry Segrave’s Sunbeam Tiger return to Southport.
Don’t miss the Segrave 100 Concours Vintage & Classic Car Display at King’s Gardens, Lower Promenade, Southport.
This historic event will take place between 10.30am and 2.30pm with an Awards Presentation at 1.30pm.
The event finishes at 4pm when the historic cars involved will then follow a parade lap route from King’s Gardens via Esplanade, Kingsway, Lord Street, Leicester Street and the Promenade.
Free public admission – organisers recommend you travel by Merseyrail or Northern to Southport Station – 10min flat walk.
Aintree Circuit Club is pleased to confirm that Sir Henry Segrave’s Sunbeam Tiger will return to Southport, marking the centenary of raising the world land speed record to 152.33 MPH at this historic location.
On 16th March 1926, Segrave took the record with Tiger in front of remarkably few witnesses and, thanks to long term owner Vijay Mallya, her return will form the centrepiece of a weekend of celebrations planned around this highly significant anniversary.
The event, supported by Cataclean and Corkills VW, will start with an exclusive dinner on the evening this Saturday (14th March 2026) followed by a concours featuring Tiger this Sunday (15th March 2026)
The celebrations will conclude with Tiger taking to Ainsdale Beach in Southport on Monday (16th March 2026) with Mr Mallya at the wheel to drive the exact course used by Segrave, exactly 100 years on from the record run.
