Vintage Stony Car and Motorcycle Gathering

New Year's Day 2019

​New Year’s Day and an early morning start for us. A 90 mile drive on almost deserted roads.
People were asked to arrive after 9.30 but when we arrived at 9.35, almost all parking spaces were taken. Unfortunately, our BBC licence fee was wasted again - a forecast of a dry day turned out to be damp and drizzly. This didn’t prevent many attendees and a large percentage of cars were open tops.

The friendly marshals did find a space for us to park the Porsche 911SC, and after borrowing a pen and filling in the car detail card (pen sponsor required), we set off to look at the post war classics.

The car park, apart from the odd modern car, was full of some very desirable cars, from Triumph Spitfire to Jensen Interceptors.

Progress was slow (much to our enjoyment), due to chatting with lots of car enthusiasts and spotting the odd friend. It was very busy and taking photos proved quite a challenge. Almost everyone was very respectful and held back to give me chance to grab a quick snap.

We next visited the Market Square to see the Vintage Cars and Classic motorcycle displays.
The bikes ranged from the early 1920s to modern recreations of well-known names like Royal Enfield and Brough Superior. Lots of Harleys and lots of British.

The Vintage Cars started with an 1898 823cc Leon Bollee Voiturette Tricycle and 1902 Gladiator Tonneau, through to impressive Bentleys and lots of Riley models.
On the corner of the Market Square was the military section with a wide range of vehicles, including a fire engine.

Next stop was the High Street for more post war cars. The road was closed which presented a chance to safely view some lovely vehicles, including a grand turn-out by Fiat 500 enthusiasts.

They did have a few modern cars like McLaren and Maserati on the High Street, but cars like this looked out of place. Just walking off the main display areas allowed you to see a huge array of modern vehicles, all out for a New Year’s Day drive.
It was very busy and friendly and I am sure the Charity benefitted greatly from this. Lots of shops had opened and most cafes and pubs sold hot drinks.
I was told this was the last of the New Year’s Day meets, but the summer meet on June 2nd is still on and you should visit their website for details and booking.
The Event guide
Location
Very easy access from the M1, but expect tight village streets and cars parked in every available space. If showing, access is slow but the volunteer marshals do try and park you.
If visiting you can generally park anywhere not designated for display parking and notices are posted on lampposts about restrictions to parking for visitors.
The event
This attracts a high quantity of quality cars and a lot of people. One of the best village shows we have attended.
Food
Lots of pubs and a few cafes will provide good food, but expect to queue and stand. There were only a few mobile food stalls even though they proved popular.
Value
Great value being free, but do expect people collecting for the designated charity to rattle a bucket in front of you. Donations of £5 per car is appreciated.
