Southsea Andy IzattSouthern Bus Events are pleased to announce that following the success of Southdown100 they are reviving the much-missed Southsea Spectacular Bus Rally. Last held in 2003 the event will take place on Southsea Common, Portsmouth on Sunday, June 12 2016.

The event will comprise a display of preserved and modern buses and coaches from around the country as well as a selection of enthusiast’s sales stalls. Free bus services using vintage vehicles will operate between Southsea Common and The Hard Interchange and along the seafront to Eastney.

The event is being organised by some of the team that organised Southdown 100 and Southsea Common is again being used with the kind permission of Portsmouth City Council.

We are delighted to be able to organise another event on Southsea Common.”
