The full name for this show is the Classic and Performance Car Spectacular 2024, held at Tatton Park in Cheshire, but old-timers like me still refer to it as the Tatton Park classic car show 2024, and as usual it is mainly the older cars - vintage and classic - that will feature in this bumper upload.
I got to Tatton early in order to catch many of the arriving classic cars as they snaked into the show field, a number finding the queueing to get in a little too much for their cooling and fuel systems. Once the majority of the exhibiting cars were in place, I headed over to the ticket office and began what was a very lengthy walk around what must be one of, if not the, biggest classic cars shows in the north west of England. It's a two-day show, I just went on the Saturday.
The good thing about these large, very established, car shows is that cars from even quite some distance away make the pilgrimage, and as a result there is usually something to keep every visitor happy.
I addition to the main show, I also spent some time walking around the autojumble area, and visited the classic car auction where a variety of classic cars for sale were viewed, including a number of barn finds - poorly examples of Lancia Fulvia, "pagoda" Mercedes Benz SL missing its floors, and a sad Jensen Interceptor were the highlights for me in the projects category.
Other interesting vehicles included van and pickup versions of the Ford Model Y, a fine selection of BMC cars (Farinas, 1800s etc), Vauxhall Chevette HS and HSR, a variety of Vauxhall Vivas and a Victor F-Type (I interviewed the owner), a brace of BMW 2002s, a very dusty Humber Sceptre, an FSO/FSM Syrena, a 1950s Mk1 Sunbeam Alpine, Austin A30 (AS3 type), Hillman Minx Californian, and a pair of MG YA saloons, to name just a handful. It was also interesting to see a Ford V8 Pilot in the auction area.
Apologies for the length of this one (probably best suited to several sittings!) but it's a big show - I've already binned around 30-40 minutes of extra footage that could have made it in.
