Want to Display Your Mk3 Astra With Us?
To show your car on the MK3OC stand, you'll need:
Pre-booking gets you the discounted rate, tickets are available on the gate too, but at full price, so it pays to sort it early.
Got Questions?

Let's get a strong turnout of Mk3's on the field this year and make 2026 one to remember. We can't wait to see you, and your car at Overstone!

What's the VBOA Rally All About?
If you've never been before, here's the gist:
- It's the largest gathering of Vauxhall, Bedford, Opel and GM-branded vehicles in the UK. A static car show spanning everything from 1903 right through to current models.
- Every car is welcome, whatever the condition, factory-standard survivors, full-on modified builds, mud-splattered daily drivers and concours show-stoppers alike. Spotless or scruffy, they all earn their spot on the grass.
- It's a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere – perfect whether it's your first show or your tenth.
- There's more than just cars too: a full programme of arena entertainment, autojumble, food stalls, 30+ club displays, and a Motorsport taster session (Saturday only).
