Get ready for the ultimate retro motoring experience as RADwood UK 2024 brings together the most radical cars from the 80s and 90s, with a special spotlight on the Max Power era. On Saturday, September 7th, the Chatham Historic Dockyard will host this vibrant celebration, where the wild spirit of the Max Power generation meets the iconic vehicles of a bygone era.
A Blast from the Past
RADwood UK 2024 is set to showcase a stunning lineup of vehicles that once graced the pages of Max Power magazine. The event will be a haven for enthusiasts of outrageous body kits, bold paint jobs, and booming sound systems. Expect to see everything from a pink Peugeot 206 to the legendary Volkswagen ‘Pringles Golf’ with its Lambo-style scissor doors. Even a retro BTCC Renault Laguna will make an appearance, alongside a variety of creative custom rides that once ruled the Saturday night car park meets.
But RADwood isn’t just about the modified marvels; it’s also a celebration of the cars that defined the 80s and 90s. Whether you drove a Ford Sierra RS Cosworth, a Renault 5 GT Turbo, or a Toyota MR2, this event is a chance to relive the memories and share stories with fellow enthusiasts.
Supercar Dreams Come True
For many, the 80s and 90s were the golden age of supercars, and RADwood UK 2024 will not disappoint. Some of the most iconic machines of the era will be on display, including poster legends like the Ferrari F40 LM, Honda NSX, Lamborghini Countach, and Porsche 959. These cars, once the stuff of dreams, will be on show for all to admire.
Get in the Spirit
Attendees are encouraged to embrace the flamboyant style of the 80s and 90s. Dust off those old shell suits, flecked trousers, and shoulder pads, and get ready to party like it’s 1989. Bring along your vintage gadgets, whether it’s a Sony Walkman or a Motorola flip phone, and immerse yourself in the RADwood vibe.
Celebrate Miami Vice’s 40th Anniversary
This year marks 40 years since Miami Vice first hit TV screens, and RADwood UK 2024 offers the perfect chance to channel your inner Crockett or Tubbs. Whether it’s the iconic white Ferrari Testarossa or the show’s unforgettable fashion, this is your opportunity to showcase your Miami style.
Contests and Prizes
Whether you arrive in a 1980s Fiesta XR2 or go full Magnum P.I. in a Ferrari 308, RADwood has plenty of prizes up for grabs. Compete in categories like the era-specific car display, the Show’n’Shine, and even a prize for the best-dressed guest.
Retro Shopping and Arcade Fun
If you’re in need of some 80s or 90s fashion, head to the Rokit Vintage village in the main boathouse, where you can find all the retro gear you loved. Meanwhile, music enthusiasts can browse the record fair for that elusive cassette, 12-inch vinyl, or MiniDisc album.
And what retro event would be complete without the arcade games that defined the era? The video game arcade at RADwood will feature classics like Outrun, Sega Rally, and Street Fighter—all set to free-play, so visitors can battle it out for top scores on the 8-bit leaderboard.

General Admission tickets are priced at £25 per car or £15 for a motorcycle, which includes entry to the display area if you’re driving something RAD. For £35, you can enter your car in the Show ’n’ Shine, but act fast—slots are filling up quickly!
