Those planning their 2023 classic rally season now have an exciting new option to add to their calendar – a three-day event in the beautiful Highlands of Scotland. Organised by Bespoke Rallies, the masters of such scenic automotive adventures for the classic car-owning fraternity, it will be based at a five-star hotel near Inverness from March 8-12, and take in such matchless terrain as the Struie, Black Isle, Loch Ness (via the famous Corkscrew road), Gairloch and Gruinard Bay.

The Highland Winter Warmer is a Regularity event, the entry for which will be split into four classes – Vintage (up to 1949); Classic (1950 to 1979); Modern Classic (1980 to 1999). However, there is also a Touring class for those with classics of any age who just wish to exercise their cars on unpopulated roads when the magical Highlands are arguably at their most breathtaking.
