First Car Show this Year

[hilly10]

Attended a small Car Show on Sunday Middleton Hall Tamworth it was limited to 50 cars with passengers and 60 attendees. It was fantastic to get out in the fresh air and chew the cud with some fellow petrol heads. Took my grandson who was also thrilled to be back amongst the cars.. First pic his him with our car



A beautiful non restored Viva it was like a time warp totally original


A few others

Nice pics. Hoping to take my Alfa to one soon, done less than 200m in it this year.

Yes it’s not been good, I have even used the TR for shopping to give it a run, hopefully it will get better

Really missing the shows this year - they are great family outings and we often go 5-up with my parents in tow. Anyone know of any shows/breakfast meets running on the 11th/12th July in the SE/Home Counties area? I've trawled the usual directories but smaller events are not always listed.

I've just received an email advising that one of our cancelled classic tours is being rescheduled for September, something I'm really looking forward to and more before the year's end hopefully.

A few of the bigger ones in the Midlands are trying to reschedule, depends if there is a spike in virus I suppose.

Good to see some classics getting out, you do realise that you are indoctrinating your grandson into a life of automotive heaven! Lucky lad.

When he was four he stood in the garage and said I love the smell of Yellow Peril (his name for the TR). He as also been to Le Man twice

^^^^^
His one heck of a lucky fella who will remember these things throughout his life. Great stuff.’

Thank you for reminding us that the car show season may well be re-starting & the lovely snaps made the anticipation more bearable.

Yes, there is a classic car meet at the Black Swan pub in Ockham KT11 1NG. It's in Old Lane which is a turning off the slip road onto the Southbound A3.

And as they have now reopened they will be running it this Sunday, the 12th. They open at 8.30 and have catering, but the queue is usually pretty long! It usually starts to thin out by 11am.

You don't need to turn up in a classic but you're more likely to end up parked in the field if you don't!

Thanks for this - in the interim we've arranged to go to the Shuttleworth Collection and Swiss Gardens on Sunday, but we'll definitely be at the Black Swan for the August 9th meet

I ended up in the Middleton monthly show by accident once. I had a brand new Z4 35is, went for a Sunday bacon sarnie at Middleton and got directed into the car queue for the show rather than the regular carpark. Didn't realise until too late.

Probably newest car ever in a classic show, it was only two days old!

[hilly10]

It’s primarily for Classics, but you do get some modern cars of interest, which me as a petrolhead is no bad thing
