What a day it turned out to be. By 11 am the show grounds was packed. The car park was full and many cars were parked in the surrounding
Streets.There were many, many vendor stalls set up selling literally thousands of vehicle spare parts, books, manuals and a huge amount of
paraphernalia all to do with Vintage Vehicles. The cafteria was extremely busy selling drinks and food, a sausage sizzle was booming.
The weather was superb, bright and sunny and warm. The organization was superb.
The Vintage Car club must be very happy with running a very successful
perfect day.
Here are some photos showing what was happening on the day.
