SUMMARY:East Coast Retro's
DESCRIPTION:East Coast Retro’s is an amazing group\, run by incredible people in Suffolk.

Many VINTTRO members are regular faces at East Coast Retros\, and we’re proud to promote this group to our members and clients. \nThe Venue: A Picturesque Setting for Petrolheads\nHeld at The Rose in Shotley\, these meets offer the quintessential British pub-meet experience. The expansive field tucked behind the pub provides the perfect canvas for a stunning variety of classic and retro machinery. As the sun sets over the Suffolk countryside\, the grounds regularly fill with everything from gleaming chrome vintage cruisers to the boxy\, nostalgic lines of 80s and 90s icons. It is a true “curated riot” of automotive history where there is genuinely something to suit every taste. \nWhy Attend?\nBeyond the cars\, the East Coast Retro’s events are about the people. It’s a place to swap restoration tips\, share stories of the open road\, and enjoy the camaraderie of a thriving community.
