Its on the cricket pitch of a small village, held EVERY month on a tuesday evening start from about 5.30pm until everyone leaves well after its gone dark
Its also worth mentioning that there is good variety of food stalls to pig out on so if you are coming straight from work you'll be catered for.

There was a large MGF contingency when i went last month
I think i've seen every rare car imaginable there... at don't think there is any car show that i've seen such a variety, i've been to shows at the NEC that don't compare lol and paid through the nose.. its £1 for the car park and thats it here! Every thing from there early 1900's to '60's american muscle to supercars and classic supercars.

PS. If you are a biker there are hundred of them there too! Just as much of a selection as with the cars.

I used to go every month in the late 90's when it was the Vintage & Sports Car Club's local meeting but it just became hard work when the event started to attract national attention.

What was hard work? parking?

On a busy month you can be sat in traffic for anything up to an hour just waiting to get into the car park, followed by another lengthy wait to get out again if you time it wrong. Both of which take a lot of the pleasure out of the experience
On the rare occasions I have been, the F contingency has always been small, and mostly made up of the group I travelled to the event with

i saw at least 10 last month, wasn't particularly looking for them but it was one of the cars i was scouting for my girlfriend so i had a look round them

i've never sat in traffic for more than 10minutes getting out and i've been to almost every one in the last 3years between april & october...last month was a bit of a nightmare getting in but thats because i got there late, i've not got there after 6.15pm before and i've not sat in what would be classed as a queue
