The home of M60 Modified

Barton Aerodrome.
Our venue.

Eccles is home. Barton Aerodrome is where M60 Modified has been meeting most Fridays since 2020, and if you live locally, you've probably already heard us. The venue sits just off Barton Road in the shadow of the old aerodrome hangars — one of the best backdrops for a car meet in Greater Manchester.

The aerodrome gives us space, atmosphere, and a proper sense of occasion. Come down any Friday and you'll find anything from tasteful daily drivers to builds that belong on a magazine cover — and the people behind them happy to chat.
