North West Classic Car and Motorcycle Show

Over 1000 vintage cars, commercial vehicles and motorbikes will be parading through stunning Cholmondely Castle, in Cheshire next month.

The 14th North West Classic Car and Motorcycle Show takes place, near Malpas, on Sunday 13th May 07 from 10am – 4pm.

Individual enthusiasts proudly displaying their fabulous classic cars, will be joined by many car clubs for a day of motoring nostalgia amongst the trade stands, exhibits and auto jumble.

Wonderfully restored cars ranging from magnificent Rolls Royce’s, Jaguars and Sunbeams, sit alongside breath-taking Aston Martins, as well as old favourites like Vauxhall, Minis and Morris Minors. There’ll be appearances by classic sports cars, MG’s and triumphs as well as a big selection of BSA, Norton and other vintage motorcycles.

With running commentaries, a selection of the vintage vehicles will be driven round the arena area, at various times in the afternoon. There’s also plenty of competitions and prizes for exhibitors.

Now in its 9th year, this hugely popular event gives patrons chance to really get up close to these wonderful vehicles, and rummage through the vast auto jumble, whilst the enthusiasts get to dust off their “pride and joys” and drive them to the show. More than 3,000 visitors are expected at the show, which is one of the biggest of 17 events being organised by Woodward Automotives during 2007.

Mark Woodward, the shows organiser said, “I always look forward to this particular show, it’s one of the biggest of the year. The magnificent Cholmondeley Castle is the perfect backdrop for all the beautifully restored cars. It’s very easy to find and all the vehicles look fantastic driving down through the parkland. It’s a bit like stepping back in time, seeing the classic cars displayed in the park!”

Admission includes access to Cholmondeley grounds and acres of stunning gardens. Although there isn’t access to the Castle, light refreshments are available from their charming tearoom.
