TETBURY CLASSIC CAR SHOW

Instead of going all the way to Kent for Festival Italia at Brands Hatch on Sunday, I popped in to the Tetbury Classic Car Show, which is held on a school playing field near me in Gloucestershire. It was surprisingly big for a little show (if you see what I mean) with about 300 cars on display. I turned up half way through in the QP, and rather to my surprise was ushered into the display area (free) rather than the visitor parking (£5 per car). Mine seemed to be the only Maserati there (I almost wish I had given it a wash) but there was a load of interesting stuff from a Countach to a Cortina. I will post a couple of random pictures. Plus an excellent double bacon and sausage roll for £4, a beer, free cheese tasting, AND I bought a bench for the garden at a good price.

No 6am start, no queues, and only had to be there for a couple of hours. But then again, no racing, no display laps, no Ferraris and hardly any Maseratis.

Maybe we should all go there next time.

I love these local mxed marque stuff, you get to see loads of stuff you had forgotten about and talk to owners who are just as mad about their object of desire as you are bout yours.

Was planning on going to this but other things got in the way... and only 10 mins away.

Maybe next year.

I was in Tetbury yesterday and thier was a vintage car rally taking place and I even saw a steam powered Stanley chugging around the streets trying to find the next clue.
