Shame there's not a TVR evening at the Quay this year.

Supercars & Subarus?

That isn't a combo I would have put together

A very odd combo

Probably the only time you'd be allowed in to a supercar display driving a Justy

'tis a rather strange combo........

And I notice that they are restricting minis to 'classic' minis rather than BMW MINIs (ie pre 2000)
and
a restriction to aircooled Porsches on 5 July, watercooled Porsches are presumably classified as supercars?
and
a similar restriction (pre 2000) on French and (presumably) Italian cars......

Although if this were the intention, personally I would have phrased the theme as 'Pre-2000, Italian & French Cars', rather than 'Italian and French Pre-2000'.
Why the restriction? I think in previous years Abarth Clubs have turned up en masse. For the tourists that the event is aimed at, rows and rows of identikit cars doesn't make for a great show, I suppose.

But still, there is room for a little grammatical ambiguity in the 'theme'..... if, on 12 July, you turned up in your 2004 Ferrari Enzo I doubt you would be denied entry

They tried to restrict American vehicles to pre 2001 only last year or year before, there was so much fuss kicked up over it they renaged and left it as normal
