"Our next Annual Classic Car Meet
Sunday 18th September 2016

Such a shame and for the first time in our illustrious history the (2015) event was washed out. There were a few brave classic owners who did arrive and for that we heartily applaud their tenacity. The sun did come out at about 2.30 but alas to late. So this year we're sure people will be looking forward to a great event and a super day out - we can't wait. See you there! Looking back. The 2014 Thornfalcon Classic Car Show, once again proved an enormous success, and we would like to extend a huge thank you to all who attended and of course, all who gave up their time to help stage the event. This year the weather was absolutely glorious, full sun from early in the morning. Again vehicles came from far and wide with around 1,200 cars and over 60 motorcycles crowding the park to present a feast for motor enthusiasts. We decided this year to change things around a little to help speed up entry and lessen chances of over-heating. This meant that we did away with the previous zoning for period or classification. Instead we marshalled vehicles in to rows and tiers around the park. We did however cordon off an area for a number of clubs, but by and large drivers were happy to go with the flow. The result a far more diverse mix of vehicles and a more entertaining way of viewing for spectators. Drifting through the lines the sight of Citroen Traction next to Bull-nosed Morris next to a Cadillac was a quite something to see as opposed to a group of one marque after another. So next year we will continue in this vein and encourage groups to arrive together if they want park as a group. This year's event will be on Sunday 18th September AT THE PARKLANDS, HENLADE, NR.TAUNTON, SOMERSET. MANY VISITORS CREDIT THE POPULARITY OF OUR MEETING TO ITS FORMAT: IT IS FREE OF CHARGE, NO BOOKING NECESSARY, COME AND GO, AS AND WHEN YOU PLEASE. THERE IS A CHOICE OF FOOD AVAILABLE TOGETHER WITH A LICENCED BAR. IT IS PRIMARILY A LUNCH-TIME MEET, FROM 11.00am TO 2.30pm BUT MANY PEOPLE ARRIVE MUCH EARLIER AND SOME STAY LATER. FURTHER DETAILS IF REQUIRED FROM STEVE, BY TELEPHONE: 01823 444500 OR E-MAIL: info@thornfalconclassics.com."
