Nominate Someone for REVS Pilgrim Tour

The REVS Pilgrim Tour is back for its fifth year this October, offering a spectacular chance for car enthusiasts to explore Wales' ancient routes. As part of its ongoing mission to support the motoring community, REVS has teamed up once again with StarterMotor for what promises to be an unforgettable adventure.

Since its debut in 2021, the REVS Pilgrim Tour has grown in popularity, and it’s easy to see why. With all general admission spaces for 2025 already snapped up, the buzz is real! However, two exclusive spots are still available for worthy participants, thanks to StarterMotor's Drive-It Fleet initiative.

This collaboration, first established in 2024, allows two lucky nominees to get behind the wheel of a classic car for an all-expenses-paid motoring experience. A weekend of scenic drives and camaraderie awaits, as participants take on a fresh route through South Wales, blending challenging roads with breathtaking views. It’s not just about driving; it’s about stepping back from the hustle and finding time to reflect on life’s priorities.

Who Can Be Nominated?

Nominations for the two coveted places opens in May, and the process couldn’t be simpler. REVS invites the motoring community to nominate individuals who’ve faced significant challenges, and would benefit from this unique opportunity. Think someone whose well-being could use a boost and who’s never experienced a vehicle tour before.

To nominate, just email revs@revscommunity.org with the nominee’s name, and a brief explanation of why this adventure would mean so much to them. The deadline is 11th August, and the final selection, made by REVS’ trustees, will be announced in September.

What’s in Store for the Winners?

The lucky duo will kick off their journey at Bicester Heritage on 10th October, where they’ll pick up their classic steed. After a guided tour of the historic site and some track laps with the StarterMotor team, it’s time to hit the road. The convoy will make its way to Llandeilo via picturesque routes through the Cotswolds and South Wales, setting the stage for an incredible weekend.

The REVS Pilgrim Tour is more than a road trip; it’s about restoration – of people, communities, and spirits. Whether you’re of faith, no faith, or somewhere in between, this journey is a chance to reconnect with what truly matters.

Community at the Heart

The REVS Pilgrim Tour owes its success to the generosity of its partners. StarterMotor’s commitment to nurturing young talent and bridging generations makes them the perfect match for this community-focused event. Together, REVS and StarterMotor, a charity with a mission to preserve automotive heritage and inspire the next generation, are driving forward a shared vision of well-being, heritage, and opportunity.

They partner with schools and colleges, providing young people with hands-on experience in the classic car sector. From career guidance to offering volunteer ambassadors the chance to drive historic vehicles, StarterMotor brings old cars to life for young enthusiasts.

So, if you know someone who’d love this chance to hit the open road in a classic car, don’t wait, nominate them today and let the journey begin!
