Dream Rides

Sporting Bears Motor Club or the 'Bears' as we are affectionately known, are a dedicated group of classic, sports and supercar enthusiasts whose primary aim is to raise money for UK children’s charities through our social, touring and 'Dream Rides' events. Founded in 1989 we have raised in excess of £3 million in total and now regularly raise over £200,000 each year at more than 50 events all over the UK. These range from small village fates to huge events like the British Motor Show, Silverstone Classic, Carfest and the NEC Classic Car Shows. We do this mainly through our Dream Rides activities.

 

 Dream Rides is a unique and exciting passenger ride experience where in return for a minimum donation to UK children's charities we take you out for a 10 mile or 20 minute passenger ride in the car of your dreams! During this ride you will experience the thrill of a Ferrari, the sound of a Lamborghini or the simple joys of classic car from a bygone age. With 1,500 members in the club, we certainly have a car for everyone whether you love the classics, hot hatches or the acceleration of a supercar!
